Beurre Manié

Origin: French

Flour and butter in equal proportions worked together to a soft paste. This is used to thicken liquids or as a liaison.

Small pieces of the beurre manié are whisked into boiling liquid. As the pieces melt, they the flour is dispersed evenly through the liquid, thickening it without creating lumps.
