Delicious Vegetarian Gravy

• 2 tablespoons flour (pretty much any kind, AP is fine)
• 2 tablespoons margarine (I like Smart Balance)
• 2 cups water or 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 vegetable bouillon cube (Omit this if you use broth. I like McCormick "chicken", but Knorr is also ok.)
• 1 tablespoon tamari (soy sauce is not as good, but ok)
• 1 pinch thyme
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water for cornstarch

1. Whisk the margarine and flour together over low heat in a small saucepan for a few minutes until the flour is cooked and golden.
2. Add the water and bouillon or broth, tamari, thyme, and pepper. Bring to a boil while whisking often to keep it smooth.
3. Lower heat and simmer a minute or so.
4. Combine cornstarch and water and stir well to get rid of lumps. Whisking gravy briskly, pour into saucepan. Continue whisking until gravy returns to a boil and has thickened.
