Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon yeast extract spread, e.g. Marmite/Vegemite

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups hot water

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup cold water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Preparation

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. In a small cup, stir together 1/2 cup cold water and cornstarch. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, and continue boiling until thickened. Cool slightly before serving
