INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 teaspoon yeast extract spread, e.g. Marmite/Vegemite
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water

  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in yeast extract spread, onion powder, and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups water so no lumps form. Bring to a boil.
