I'm not rating this recipe because it didn't quite work for me and most likely because I didn't make it right. I thought the flour was maybe too much because the sauce thickened a real lot. Once I added the butter and it melted, it did not incorporate with the rest of the sauce. So it looked like little flour dumplings floating in melted butter. No amount of whisking made it smooth. Besides being rather unattractive, the taste was unlike any other lemon butter sauce I've eaten. I probably wouldn't try this again very soon as tonight was an indulgance. However, I want to learn the technique so I will give it another shot sometime.
