Why these work together
Butter is both a cooking fat and a finishing ingredient, and that dual role is why it appears in more recipes than almost anything else. Its milk solids brown at around 150C and give you the nutty flavour behind pan sauces and garlic chicken, while cold butter whisked into a sauce at the end makes it glossy and thick. In baking it does a third job entirely, trapping air for lift.
