Comment préparer Drawn Butter

Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite seasoning blend (e.g., Old Bay, garlic powder, paprika).
Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the melted butter, ensuring no lumps form.
Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot water, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until each addition is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
