Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (57 g)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30 g)

Method

  1. Place the softened butter and flour into a small bowl.

  2. Mash and knead the butter and flour together using a spatula or spoon until a smooth, uniform paste forms.

    Beurre manié translates to "kneaded butter". It thickens sauces while adding a glossy finish and rich, buttery flavor without forming lumps.

  3. Whisk small amounts of the beurre manié directly into simmering gravies, soups, or sauces until the desired thickness is reached.
