Start by bringing the water to a boil, then reduce the heat.
Gradually whisk in the chilled butter, one tablespoon at a time, until it is fully melted and emulsified.
Continue whisking to ensure the butter fat is evenly dispersed, resulting in a smooth and thick sauce.
You can use the sauce as is, or enhance it with optional flavorings.
For a savory touch, mix in gochujang, lime juice, and sugar to drizzle over steak.
Alternatively, combine apricot preserves and peach schnapps for a delicious pancake topping.
