Ingredients:
- 170ml (3/4 cup) Whole Milk
- 75g (1/3 cup) Unsalted Butter
Instructions:
- Place the 75g of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until just liquid and clear. Do not let it sizzle or brown.
- Pour 170ml of whole milk into a separate bowl. If it's cold from the fridge, microwave it for 20 seconds until it feels lukewarm to the touch.
- Slowly pour the melted butter into the milk in a thin, steady stream.
- Use your whisk or blender immediately as the butter hits the milk.
- Keep at it for about 2 minutes until the liquid is uniform and slightly thickened.
- Look for any yellow beads of fat; if you see them, whisk harder.
- Allow the mixture to sit for a minute.
- Give it one last gentle mix before adding it to your recipe.
- If you need more, just double the quantities while keeping the ratios the same.
- Use immediately. This is at its best when it's fresh and the emulsion is at its peak.
