I didn't use a recipe...I fancy myself a chef of sorts. I just kind of...made it.

Make it like you would any gravy, but instead of meat stock/drippings I made really strong vegetable broth from concentrated veggie stock (it's like a paste type boullion in the soup aisle).

Here's what I did...

Melted like 3/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat (we don't want anything to scorch)...add flour in small amounts wisking constantly. It will thicken up a lot, and keep adding untill it gets to be a yellow paste. (if you could make a ball out of it, you're good.) With that yellow paste, stir (wisk) in milk slowly untill it's a *thick* gravy consistancy still over medium/low heat. Stir your strong veggie broth, and taste it to make sure you've used enough veggie stock. If it's too thick add more milk or stock, if it's too thin add more flour. But if you have to add more flour you need to keep cooking it, or the flour will stay raw and taste nasty. After the gravy tastes right simmer it for about five minutes to make sure the flour is cooked in, again so it doesn't taste icky.

There you have it. It tastes pretty good, even to me who eats meat. The only thing I've thought about is maybe adding some liquid smoke flavoring, it might help give it more of a meatesque flavor, without adding meat.

Good luck!

that recipe didn't come off the internet, it came from the famous chef Margie Laughman, my grandma.

She taught me to makes gravy years ago, and I used her technique.
