Ingredients
- 40 g butter I use a block of vegan Flora
- 20 g gluten free plain flour
- 40 g caster sugar I use 20g caster and 20g light brown sugar
- 200 ml milk I use soya as my preferred milk alternative
- 3 tbsp brandy
Instructions
- To start you need to make a roux with the butter and flour, this cooks out the flour flavour. To do this melt your butter in a small saucepan and remove from the heat, stir in the flour to make a thick buttery paste.
- Add the sugar(s) and return to the heat stirring stir vigorously for 1 minute to cook the flour and dissolve the sugar.
- Remove from the heat and pour 50ml of your milk or dairy free alternative into the paste, using a whisk, beat to loosen the paste, then add the remaining 150ml of ‘milk’ and return to the hob.
- Gently heat whilst continuing to whisk as the sauce begins to thicken.
- Finally turn the heat right down and add the brandy. Stir to combine and pour into your jug ready to serve or into a Tupperware container with a sealed lid to prevent a skin from forming.
