Welcome to The Sauce and Gravy Channel. Johnny Mac here, the Gravy Guy. Get ready. You’re in for a real treat. I’m going to show you an easy to make classic french butter sauce recipe. So let me quickly walk you through how to make a beurre blanc sauce. And you know what? This is the exact same recipe that I learned in Paris, France as a student at Le Cordon Bleu. Really quick, before we begin, if you haven’t heard already, I am publishing a cookbook. "Sauces Made Simply". It’ll have 70 of the top sauce and gravy channel recipes. Once it’s published, I’ll put links in the description sections of the videos as well as on The Sauce and Gravy Channel website. If you’d like to purchase a copy, it should help out the channel. Keep it alive as well as step up your game and make your sauce making a whole lot easier. Thank you for all of your support and remember to keep whiskin’ y’all. For your convenience, I’ll put a list of the ingredients used for this recipe in the description section below. So let’s begin. Shall we start off with a little bit of prep work? Nothing too complicated here. Round up your blade and a board. Snag one shallot and finely dice it. So that’s it. Nothing too complicated. Round up all the other ingredients and fry up some fish. I happen to be using some tilapia filets that have been seasoned with salt and pepper and lightly dredged in flour and fried up in a neutral oil. Once cooked, remove the fish and any excess oil from the pan. You’ll want a small amount, but not too much. Make sure to keep the bits and pieces of the fish in the bottom of the pan. That’s fond, that’s flavor. It’ll add deliciousness to your sauce. All right, time to make that beurre blanc. Drop in that shallot. At this point, you’re still working off heat. You haven’t turned that burner on just quite yet. Add one tablespoon or 15ml white wine vinegar and you’ll top this off with five tablespoons or 75ml white wine. I’m using a chardonnay. All of the ingredients for this step are in the pan. Now you can crank up that burner to medium to medium high heat. Take a spoon or a spatula and scrape the sides and bottom of the pan to release all of those bits and pieces of fish up and into the cooking liquid. This will add loads of flavor. After a minute or so, the liquid will be reduced and the shallot should be tender so you’re ready to move forward with the next step of the process. Hit the fridge. Round up two tablespoons or 30ml heavy cream. It’s also called whipping cream or double cream. Stir it in over low to medium heat. You definitely don’t want to burn or scald the sauce. Let it simmer slowly for approximately a minute to warm up and infuse flavor. Great work. You’re almost done. Time to turn off the heat and add cold butter. One stick of butter that’s half of a cup or 114 grams, cut up and chilled. You definitely want it cold. Add the butter off heat to the pan. In batches, you’ll use the residual heat of the pan to emulsify or more or less melt that or incorporate that butter into this sauce. Use a spoon or a whisk or you can just swirl the pan to help mix that butter in. Now would be a perfect time to smash that subscribe button. And don’t forget to hit the bell button to stay tuned to the latest and greatest sauce making tips and techniques. So check it out. This is the consistency you should be shooting for. It should be rich, creamy, thick, has loads of flavor. Make sure to taste it. Then you can adjust the seasoning. Can add a dash of salt or a touch of pepper if necessary. And that’s it. That’s all there is to it. Pretty simple. Right now you have a delicious beurre blanc that you can drizzle on your fish. Thank you for watching the sauce and gravy channel. I hope that you found this recipe helpful. If you did, share it with your friends. Don’t forget to hit that like button. I’ll see you on the next recipe. Until then, remember to keep whiskin’ y’all.

Thank you Mr. Johnny Mac for elevating my sauce game! Cheers!
😋👍🍻…….hope you make plenty of cookbooks.
I love watching your videos. You make everything look so easy. I'm not an avid cook, why do you want "cold" butter? I've seen this in lots of recipes but never an explanation of why. Thank you for stepping up my sauce game!
I am sincerely looking forward to your cookbook. Thank you!❤
I’m SO looking forward to your cookbook!
And thank you for being so clear in your videos. I always feel it’s possible for me to make after watching you!
Everything you makes looks so yummy. I’m hungry right now 😋😊🙂
Mr. Johnny, question: I'm not a fish person, can i make this with chicken in place of fish?
Can't wait to try this. It's now saved in my recipes folder. Thanks for sharing your expertise with people that didn't go to culinary school.
Hooray for your Cookbook! I now have gifting solved. Hope it comes out soon! You're the BEST!!! 💕
Is it possible for me still to make a nice sauce if I make it in the pan that I've sautéed a mixture of both young and mature portobello mushrooms in, and also using less butter? I don't have a gallbladder, so I can't process fat properly. I'm willing to suffer a certain amount in order to enjoy certain foods, but I don't want to become completely ill. The sauce is for some mushroom ravioli. If you think that I'd be better off trying a different sauce then please let me know. If it helps, I already have Parmigiano-Reggiano and white wine vinegar. And I'm low income. Thanks, and have a great weekend! ✌️from 🇨🇦
Wow! I have heard of the name of the sauce. Just thought it was a chef thing and never looked it up! Looks like I'm keeping this in recipe! ❤❤
Congratulations on the cookbook
Hi can you make this sauce for all the proteins or just fish? Thank You 🙏
If you translate it literally, the name of this Sauce in Spanish (Salsa Mantequilla Blanca) sounds so elegant… As a (now retired) Chef, I have made many various Buerre Blancs over the years. They are so fantastically delicious.
Is this for fish only?
Johnny, your channel is growing so fast! Your a hit with these quick and easy tips to make meals great. Thanks a lot!
always wanted to find a to utilize the leftover tilapia bits! thanks for this!
Can't wait for the cookbook!
Now I want tilapia…
Is there a substitute that you could recommend if you did not want to use the white wine? Thank you.
I made a beurre monté sauce yesterday with some reduced beef stock, anchovy paste, mace and some lemon juice. Made a fine steak sauce.
You gotta be shitting me. A SAUCE channel?!!
Thanks for the metric quantities. They make life so much easier for the enlightened. I think your cookbook will be a good investment.
Is there a vegetarian version of this recipe?
Could lemon juice sub for the white wine vinegar?
Looking forward to the cookbook!
Going to make this for my salmon tomorrow. Salmon will be grilled. Any adjustments you think I should make?
Why must the butter be cold if you are just going to melt it anyway??? Sincere question.
Just subscribed. Will this also be good with chicken thighs?
Anything butter is good!
That would be great with chicken (and a little fresh pasta). I am fond of fond.
