About Sauce au beurre

Sauce au beurre is French for butter sauce: a sauce in which butter is a defining ingredient. The name alone does not specify a recipe, consistency, or whether other ingredients such as liquid, seasoning, or thickener are included.

It is used as a topping or accompaniment for foods and may be served warm or incorporated during cooking. Depending on its formulation and handling, it can range from pourable to thicker and creamy, with a buttery flavour. Match the particular recipe and serving form when comparing nutrition.
