Adding cream to beurre blanc helps with the emulsification, ensuring it stays rich and luxurious far longer that a sauce without it.

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper, or to taste
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces and chilled

Steps:

  • Boil wine, vinegar, and shallot in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until liquid is syrupy and reduced to 2 to 3 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Add cream, salt, and white pepper and boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to moderately low and add a few tablespoons butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter a few pieces at a time, whisking constantly and adding new pieces before previous ones have completely liquefied (the sauce should maintain consistency of hollandaise), lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture.
  • Remove from heat, then season to taste with salt and pepper and pour sauce through a medium-mesh sieve into a sauceboat, pressing on and then discarding shallot. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my beurre blanc sauce turned out lumpy. It was still tasty, but not as smooth as I would have liked.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the sauce.

The beurre blanc sauce was delicious, but it was a little too thick for my taste. Next time, I will add a little more liquid.
