  • Cut the butter into 8 pieces and put it back in the fridge, it has to be cold when you add it.
  • Add the wine and shallots to a small heavy pot. Bring the wine and shallots to a boil on medium-high heat until there is a bout 2 tablespoons left.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the saffron.
  • Now add the heavy cream and whisk in the butter. Be sure to add the next piece before the last one has completely melted, stirring constantly, be sure NOT to let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
