Instructions

1. For the vegan butter sauce, put 15 g of the vegan butter in a small saucepan with the flour and stir over low heat for 2 minutes without letting it color. Gradually add the cold water, stirring, and let it simmer for 5 minutes: it should look like a very thin porridge.
2. Turn the heat down as low as it goes and add the rest of the vegan butter piece by piece, stirring constantly and not adding the next piece until the last one has melted. You'll get a glossy, silky sauce. If it splits and releases oil, add a tablespoon of cold water and whisk.
3. Add the chopped capers and salt carefully, since they're already salty. If you like it sharper, add a little of the brine from the caper jar.
