Preparation
- Place the oil in a 1-quart saucepan, and heat it over low. Stir in the flour to make a thick paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce is very smooth. Work slowly, stirring constantly, to avoid lumps. Then whisk in the nutritional yeast flakes.
Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring almost constantly with a wooden spoon or wire whisk, until it is thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
The Cook’s Secrets:
For a thicker white sauce, increase the flour to 3 or 3½ tablespoons.
