Instructions
- Melt butter or heat oil: In a small pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat or heat the olive oil until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Add rice flour: Add the sweet rice flour and whisk continuously until a paste forms, then continue whisking for about 3 minutes until the paste turns light beige.
- Incorporate broth: Slowly whisk in the warm broth in a steady stream, cooking and whisking constantly until the gravy thickens and begins to bubble.
- Simmer and season: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve and store: Serve the gravy warm. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
