Notes
- Make sure you cook the sauce on a low to medium heat, a high high will make the butter burn quickly and taste bitter - you can actually smell when the butter turns into a gorgeous golden colour, it has a distinctive nutty flavour.
- You can add a bit of a chilli kick to the sauce by adding some chilli flakes, if you like some heat, but that's totally optional.
