Drain, refresh under cold running water and drain again.

Put the flour, margarine, pepper, mustard and oatmilk into a pan over a medium heat, and whisk everything together and cook for 2 minutes to make a thick sauce.

Take the pan off the heat, add the lemon juice, ground almonds and nutmeg and stir well.
