Vegan Country Gravy

Name: Vegan Country Gravy
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: ½ cup vegan butter; ½ cup all-purpose flour; 2 cups soy milk (unsweetened); 1 tablespoon sage (finely chopped); 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper (coarse, freshly ground); ½ teaspoon fennel seed (ground)

Cooking the roux to pale gold gives this soy-milk gravy more depth than a quick thickening would. Sage and fennel turn the creamy sauce into a familiar country-style spoonful.

Butter Club Notes

Good country gravy isn't complicated, but it does reward a little patience. Letting the roux cook until it's lightly golden gives the gravy a deeper flavor than rushing it. The sage and fennel are subtle, but they're what make this taste like country gravy instead of just thickened soy milk. I usually make a little extra because leftovers disappear quickly over breakfast potatoes or biscuits the next morning.
