Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the white wine, lemon juice and shallot to a low simmer.
  2. Whisk in the fine sea salt, white pepper and cream.
  3. When barely bubbling, slowly whisk in a few butter cubes at a time until all are added and fully melted. The sauce will thicken. If you don't keep the temperature low and whisk continuously, the sauce will separate.
  4. Pour the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove large pieces of seasoning or shallot. Serve immediately.
  5. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.

Notes
