To make the white sauce, place the tapioca flour, lemon juice, 3½ tablespoons of nutritional yeast, mustard, almond milk and a pinch of salt into a pan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture begins to bubble, whisking continuously to ensure that the mixture stays smooth and doesn’t form any lumps. You may want to add a dash more almond milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
