For a richer flavor, use vegetable broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of yeast extract spread to your preference. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste. If you don't have onion powder, you can substitute it with 1 tablespoon of finely minced onion, sautéed in the butter until softened before adding the other ingredients. For a smoother gravy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving. This gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, whisking occasionally, and add a splash of water or broth if needed to thin it out.
