What You Need to Know
This technique involves slowly adding butter to water while blending, creating a stable emulsion. The key is to control the ratio of butter to water and the blending speed. The emulsion is stabilized by the formation of a complex network of butter droplets and water molecules.
This emulsion is unique in that it uses butter, which gives it a rich and creamy texture.
