Beurre Manié Recipe
Description
The Beurre Manié Recipe involves mashing together softened butter and flour until fully blended into a pasty dough. This mixture is typically kneaded by hand to ensure even incorporation of the flour. Once prepared, it serves as a ready-to-use thickening agent particularly effective for finishing pan sauces or soups by gently stirring into the simmering liquid. Its butter content adds a silky richness while the flour thickens the base without clumping.
The recipe is straightforward and requires only two ingredients which are blended uncooked and then used as needed in various culinary applications. The pliable dough can be kept refrigerated covered for up to one month, making it practical to prepare ahead. Salted butter can be substituted if desired but may alter the salt level in the finished dish.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Add softened butter and flour to a medium-sized bowl.
- Mash the ingredients together using a fork, pasty knife, or spoon.
- Switch to using your hands to knead the ingredients until the flour is incorporated.
- Store or use.
Notes
- Beurre manié can be prepared several days in advance and refrigerated.
- Store the mixture covered in the refrigerator for up to one month to maintain freshness.
- Using salted butter is acceptable but will add saltiness to your final dish, so adjust seasoning accordingly.
