"Cheese" Sauce

Mix in a 2-quart saucepan:

• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
• 1/2 cup unbleached flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

When dry ingredients are mixed, whisk in:

• 2 cups water

Cook over medium heat, whisking until it thickens and bubbles. Cook 30 seconds more, then remove from heat and whisk in:

• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 teaspoon wet mustard

Sauce will thicken as it cools but will thin when heated. Good for a macaroni and cheese casserole, as a topping for lasagna, or a pan of enchiladas.
