Gluten- and dairy- free white sauce

I wanted to make a casserole but I couldn't find a good recipe without cream of whatever soup or the like. Finally, it dawned on me that I can make my own white sauce! An internet search for that was much more successful than looking for a casserole that fit my requirements. I found a great explanation and recipe here. I can't explain it any better. But here's what I did:

*about 1 tbsp oil
*about 2 1/2 tbsp brown rice flour
*1 cup almond milk

Heat the oil over med/med-high heat. Add the brown rice flour and stir to brown the flour a bit. (This just formed a paste-type substance for me. At first it was dry, but I added a bit more oil.) Next slowly stir in the almond milk. Continue cooking and stirring frequently. My sauce thickened after probably 4-5 min. Let it get to the consistency you want. If it gets too thick, stir a little more of almond milk until it's the thickness you need. Then, use it as you would a white sauce (such as putting it over a casserole).

But honestly, the explanation on the link above is much better. So go look there!

Enjoy!
