Papa John’s Style Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce
This thick, savory sauce is inspired by Papa John's breadstick-dipping sauce. But this one is made with real butter, so it tastes even more delicious.
Servings: 0.5 cup
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter (1/2 cup), cubed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
Make the beurre monté:
- Bring the water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer.
- Add 1 piece of butter and cook, whisking constantly, until the butter is melted, 20 to 30 seconds.
- Continue to cook, whisking in butter 1 piece at a time until all of the butter is incorporated and the sauce has the consistency of thin gravy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Season and serve:
- Whisk in garlic powder.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and cover to keep warm.
- Before using, whisk the sauce vigorously to blend in any butterfat that has collected on the surface.
