white butter sauce


Language variant: beurre blanc

Explanation:
Blanke boter (beurre blanc)
Voor 2 personen: 3 sjalotjes, ¼ l witte wijn, 100 gr boter, peper, zout.
Hak de sjalotjes fijn en doe ze met de witte wijn in een pannetje. Laat de wijn inkoken op een hoog vuur. Zet het vuur lager en klop er met een garde kleine stukjes koude boter door tot je een gebonden saus bekomt. Breng op smaak met peper en zout. Heerlijk bij vis en fijne groenten. Een of twee soeplepels room maken de saus niet alleen fluweliger, de kans op schiften vermindert nog ook !
Blanke boter kun je beter in kleine hoeveelheden maken. Als je met meer personen bent herhaal dan liever de bereiding.

agree  MoiraB: Not with 'white butter sauce', since Dave gave the same answer 3 hours previously. I'm agreeing with 'beurre blanc', especially if this is for a menu. Commonly used. See website above (too long for here).
4 hrs
neutral  Dave Calderhead: some people just use plain white butter (usually salted butter) on their asparagus, as with corn on the cob ;D
4 hrs
neutral  writeaway: Dave already gave sauce as an option in his answer, but he also included the possibility of just melted butter. As Moira said, for purely Belgian context, look up beurre blanc and you'll see it's a white butter sauce
6 hrs
neutral  Els Spin: I am not sure about sauce, or plain white butter. I think it is what we (in Dutch Dutch) call "geklaarde boter".
21 hrs
neutral  PB Trans: "beurre blanc" or "beurre blanc sauce" but not "white butter". See my info in the "ask asker" box.
