Method
- 1
Melt the dairy free spread in a small pan over a low to medium heat until it stops sizzling.

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring all the time, until it looks like wet sand and smells slightly biscuity.
- 3
Take the pan off the heat and pour in a little oat milk. Beat well until smooth, then add the rest in three goes.
- 4
Return to a medium heat and stir constantly for 5 to 6 minutes, until the sauce is thick, glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
