Tip of the Week

Using a beurre manier is a popular method for thickening a sauce without having to make a roux or using a white sauce base.

To make beurre manier:


1 pound flour
1 pound unsalted butter at room temp

1. Let butter come to room temp.

2. Add the flour and knead it in with a wooden spoon.

Use right away or wrap in plastic and store in the refrigerator.
