# Beurre Monté (Magic Butter Sauce)

1. Bring (3 parts)[water] to a gentle simmer.
2. Whisk in (8 parts)[butter] 1 piece at a time until it melts.
3. Season with [salt] or [herbs] to taste.

Whisk butter into a little simmering water and—poof!—you've got liquid silk that pairs with any seasoning and gilds everything it touches.
