Notes
To make gluten free gravy
To make gluten free, substitute the flour for cornstarch. This will make the gravy thicker but otherwise the taste stays the same. Also make sure that your tamari is gluten free.To make vegan gravy
Substitute the salted butter for vegan butter (I like earth balance brand)Nutrition
