Ingredients
- 1 shallot finely chopped (about ⅓ cup, large
- 1 cup white wine dry
- 8 tablespoons butter cold, cut into small pieces
- salt to taste
- white pepper to taste
Notes
- Cold butter is KEY to a smooth and creamy sauce. Before starting the recipe, break the butter up into small pieces and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to use. This way, you can easily add just a small amount at a time so it doesn’t break the sauce.
- If the pan is too hot, the sauce could break. It’s important to remove the pan from the heat while stirring in the butter, and only gently reheat it if it becomes too cold to melt the additional butter.
- Serve your French butter sauce as soon as it’s done. It can break if it sits for too long and does not store or reheat well.
- This is a very basic recipe and can be adjusted to suit a variety of flavors. Experiment with different herbs and spices in the reduction, or by swapping out some of the white wine for a different liquid, such as a fruit juice.
