I made this to go with dinner at the commune so the vegetarian folk would have something to eat rather than just chicken gravy. even the meat eaters ended up liking it, though :)

Yum! so easy but delicious. I'm not really sure if I toasted the flour well, but it turned out great. I made it just as described, but may try tinkering with it a little in the future. Thanks!

this is so simple and soooo good. I was known as the best gravy maker amongst my friends before becoming a vegan and they were all worried at what my gravy would taste like at Thanksgiving but they were all so happy with this.

Oh my! this was just wonderful!!! I cold eat it all by itself :D I did add 12oz of mushrooms, but that was the only change. I will be making this often, thanks for sharing the recipe Lindsey!

This is almost identical to what I do, although I use vegetable broth whenever available or mushrooms/garlic/onion saute'd then simmered in water. I will also add soy milk to make it even more creamy.
