Beurre Blanc Sauce Recipe

dry white wine

lemon juice

shallot (, minced)

fine sea salt

white pepper

heavy cream

unsalted butter (, cold and cut into cubes)

In a medium saucepan, bring the 1/2  cup  dry white wine, 2 tablespoons  lemon juice and 1  medium  shallot to a low simmer.

Whisk in the 1/4  teaspoon  fine sea salt, 1/4  teaspoon  ground white pepper and 1/3  cup  heavy cream.

When barely bubbling, slowly whisk in a few cubes of the 2 cups  unsalted butter at a time until all are added and fully melted. The sauce will thicken. If you don&#39;t keep the temperature low and whisk continuously, the sauce will separate.

Pour the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove large pieces of seasoning or shallot. Serve immediately.

I hosted a dinner party and served homemade lobster ravioli with your barre blanc sauce, and it was a major success. My guests still rave about it. Thank you so much for this beautiful simple sauce recipe. I will make it again and again.  It pairs well with many dishes, fish, seafood, vegetables, chicken... Bellissimo!

Delish!!!  Easy to make and froze beautifully!  First time ever making the sauce and I was nervous so thank you so much for giving us such a great recipe!

This was absolutely fabulous! A perfect addition to our pan~seared sea bass. Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe is perfect! I was at a restaurant and there was beurre blanc on my crepe lunch, and I loved it so much I wanted to make it at home. This recipe worked perfectly.

Can't wait to try this recipe, I know my family will love it!

E la prima volta che lo fatta ed il risultato e molto soddisfacente (translation:
And the first time it's done and the result is very satisfying).

Recipe video above. This classic and elegant Beurre Blanc sauce is beautifully light yet creamy with a signature tang. Often served with a simple pan-fried fish at fine-dining restaurants, bistros and cafés, it also works well with shellfish, chicken or even vegetables. Simple to make but like any butter-emulsified sauce it can be temperamental. So I’d say two things: cold butter and low heat! Follow those two rules, take your time, and the sauce will come together perfectly.Optional safeguard against splitting - just use a bit of cream. See Note 4.

Beurre Blanc Sauce

eschalot

white wine (, dry, not sweet or

tbsp white wine vinegar ((Note 3))

tbsp thickened cream / heavy cream ((Note 4))

Reduce onion shallot, wine and vinegar to 2–3 tbsp of liquid. On low heat, whisk in 1 tbsp cold butter at a time. Add salt, strain. Use immediately.

ABBREVIATED RECIPE

Make reduction - In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the onion shallot, white wine and vinegar. Also add the cream, if using (see Note 4). Let it simmer gently until it reduces by 2/3 (about 5 minutes once it starts simmering). You should have just 2 to 3 tablespoons of the liquid left no including the onion shallot. (Note 5)

Add COLD butter - Turn the heat to low. That is very important because if it’s too hot, your sauce will split (you don&#39;t want the mixture to even reach a simmer, use your smallest burner). Add the cold butter, one heaped tablespoon at a time while whisking briskly and constantly. (Note 6)

Emulsify sauce - Let each addition melt before adding more. The sauce will thicken as you add the butter and will become of a pale milky yellow colour. This should take around 5 minutes. Add the salt in at the end. (Note 7)

Sauce consistency - Keep whisking until all the butter is incorporated, the sauce should be slightly thickened like pouring cream with a pale yellow colour. It should lightly coat the back of a spoon.

Strain - Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into another small saucepan, pressing on the eschalots to extract all the flavour. (Note 9)

Warm and serve - Place the saucepan over LOW heat on your smallest burner to keep the sauce gently warm while you cook your protein. The heat must stay very low or the sauce will split. You only want to keep it warm, not hot. (Note 8) When needed, spoon generously over fish like I do here or chicken, or even simple steamed vegetables. Sprinkle some finely chopped chive over the top and enjoy!

FULL RECIPE

Make the sauce today, it turned out beautifully and tasted absolutely divine. My family loved it.

I thought it was a very good recipe. Having said that, it was more acidic than I anticipated. To deal with that problem, I added some sugar to the final sauce.. Next time, I will reduce the amount of wine vingar.

Excellent. Just made for supper with filet de merlu. This is the kind of classic simple cuisine that you don't actually find that often here in the part of France where I live. And of course alcohol +butter + cream = the holy trinity of cooking. Keep it up!
