Drawn Butter Sauce

1. 1

   Let the butter soften to room temperature.

2. 2

   Cut it into 8 pieces and roll them in the flour so that it is all absorbed.

3. 3

   Put the pieces into a saucepan and place it over a very low heat, stirring and beating with a wire whisk until you have a pale, creamy mixture.

4. 4

   Gradually add the milk, whisking after each addition; do not worry if it looks strangely rubbery at this point, it will turn back into a creamy sauce as you add more milk.

5. 5

   When all the milk has been incorporated, add the lemon juice and cook the sauce very gently for 5 minutes, whisking constantly.

6. 6

   Serve very hot.
