White sauce, a fast food alternative

This is a really good recipe to have on hand for a quick meal. I always take whatever leftover veggies I have, stir fry them with some onion and garlic and serve over rice (or rice and quinoa mixed). This recipe has saved us on nights where we run out of time or I didn't plan well, but we don't feel like spending the money to get good food take out.

2 c broth
1 c buttermilk (make your own by putting 1 T vinegar or lemon juice in a one cup and filling the rest with milk. Wait 5 minutes)
7 T brown rice flour (I make my own in my blender. Just add brown rice and pulse)
2 T olive oil
Bragg's or salt to taste

Add all ingredients to sauce pan. Whisk until flours are blended. Simmer on low heat until thick, stirring constantly. See below for varying flavors

LEMON SAUCE:
add 1 T fresh lemon juice and 2 tst lemon zest. Or 10 drops of lemon essential oil

CURRY:
Great over hawaiian haystacks
Follow recipe, except replace milk with water and add 2 tsp curry powder, 2 T honey and 1 T prepared mustard

GARLIC HERB SAUCE:
4 cloves pressed garlic sauteed in a bit of olive oil then follow recipe as outlined. Add 1 tsp each of basil, oregano, and sage.
