This is a great recipe for anyone with celiac(gluten allergies) It has let me make a mousaka that is one of my wifes favorite things. I added egg yokes and baked the mousaka as I normally would and it was great JMike

I have found that using rice flours for thickening agents in gravies and sauces works best if a fine ground flour is used. Bob's Mill white rice flour provides the best results of those that I have tried. A non hydrogenated buttery spread such as Earth Balance gives a buttery flavor - or olive oil can also be used for pasta with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper for flavoring instead of the honey.

My son is a celiac so most of the meals we have are celiac friendly. I have been using gluten free cornflour for a white sauce base. Last week I make a lasagna using rice sheet noodles for an Chinese grocery shop and this white sauce recipe as a base. I added an egg yolk to the sauce and grated cheese. OOOOOOOOOH my heavens. My son was in Lasagna heaven. He said it almost tasted like real cheese sauce. Thank you so much and my son thanks you. :-) He hates the white/cheese sauce made on the gluten free cornflour. LOL My son said for the celiacs of the world, this recipe gets a 5 star rating because it is so hard to good gluten free recpes that come close to the wheat/gluten products.

I used brown rice flour to make my gravies, mac & cheese sauce. I find that it does not change the flavor. my men friends love my mac & cheese

This sauce has potential. However, it needs more seasoning and it doesn't thicken up at all. I had to add arrowroot to get it to thicken. I wanted to use this as a sauce for a gluten/dairy free pizza. I added garlic/onion powders, nut. yeast, salt. I also used rice milk. I will try the leftovers over rice noodles.
