The process of making a Beurre Blanc involves \u2018emulsifying\u2019 the Butter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This Sauce may be seen as challenging to some folks as it\u2019s a level-up in terms of Sauce making at home compared to simpler sauces where you simply combine a few ingredients and it\u2019s done. That\u2019s not to say this isn\u2019t a simple Sauce to prepare, and in this recipe, we\u2019ll show you the easiest way to make it
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sauce requires slowly adding Butter to a Wine and Vinegar mixture using a process known as emulsification, which simply put means to combine liquids that don\u2019t typically go together. Successfully emulsifying Butter with Wine and Vinegar will result in a beautifully smooth and luxurious Sauce

The key to emulsifying the Butter in a Beurre Blanc is following a few classic steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\nStep 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t add all the Butter at once, instead add it slowly over time. For this recipe we\u2019ll use about 200g of Butter, which may seem like a lot (and it is!) But we\u2019re making enough Sauce for 4 people
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To properly prepare the Butter, you will need to first cut the block of Butter into cubes, so it can be added in small quantities to the pan. I recommend cutting the Butter into pieces that are about the size as a dice
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ensure that the Butter is nice and cold before it\u2019s added to the pan. This step aids in the process as the goal is to very slowly heat the Butter as it\u2019s mixed with the Wine and Vinegar. To achieve this all you\u2019ll need to do is keep the Butter in the fridge before it\u2019s added to the sauce
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I like to do is cut the Butter into cubes and then place it into a bowl. Then, whack it straight back into the refrigerator. Once it\u2019s time to add the Butter, you simply remove it from the fridge and start mixing it into the pan
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Slowly add the Butter over a low heat. Then, make sure you are constantly stirring the pan to keep the Butter moving. This step in the emulsification process helps to avoid the Butter staying stagnant or getting too hot, which will ultimately lead to the sauce breaking
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slowly adding the Butter over a low heat and stirring constantly using a whisk is the best process for a smooth emulsification for our Easy Beurre Blanc Sauce. Even with the pan set over low heat, the temperature in the pan will continue to increase, so at times we recommend taking the pan completely off the heat to best regular the temperature
