Avoid a "floury" white sauce
At the beginning of a white sauce always cook off the butter and flour over low heat for 1 minute to ensure the finished sauce doesn’t have a “floury” flavour. Remove from the heat before whisking in milk and returning back to the heat to thicken.
Making a sauce?
Enrich wine based sauces by whisking in a large knob of cold butter at the very end, it will give your sauce a richness, shine and round off any acidic flavours.
Should I grease my baking tins?
This helps stop food sticking. Brush the tin with melted butter or use some baking paper with a little butter on it to rub around the inside of the tin.
Add extra flavour to filo
When brushing filo pastry sheets with butter for savoury applications, try melting the butter in the microwave with a bruised clove of garlic, for a little extra flavour!
Cooking pasta?
Toss a knob of butter through pasta or couscous before serving for a glossy sheen and delicious buttery flavour!
Best ever green beans!
Melt a knob of butter in a fry pan until foamy, toss in your steamed green beans and slivered almonds until almonds are just golden. Delicious!
Fussy Eaters?
Stir a squeeze of honey and dab of butter into steamed carrots, the kids are guaranteed to eat these veggies.
