Buerre manie (“kneaded butter”) is a method of using starch to thicken liquids without risking clumps. Starch (traditionally wheat flour) is pressed into clumps of butter (traditionally in a 1 to 1 ratio) before being added to the pot or pan. The butter fat coats the flour granules and holds them apart, releasing them as the butter melts & preventing them from sticking together in clumps. The effect is similar to a roux, but doesn’t involve toasting the flour before using it to thicken. Related Posts: Post your comment here: |
