Beurre Blanc sauce is one of the great classic French sauces, a must in the repertoire of any cook.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp white wine vinegar
60ml double cream
120g butter
Salt
freshly-ground black pepper

Method:

Combine the vinegar and 2 tbsp of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until the liquid has almost evaporated (about 2 minutes). Add the double cream and continue cooking over high heat until the volume of the mixture has reduced by half (about 1 minute).

Over the lowest possible heat whisk the butter into the reduction about a tablespoon at a time, adding another piece as the previous piece is almost incorporated. (The butter should not melt completely but should soften to form a creamy sauce.) Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain sauce into a bowl and cover to keep warm.
