   NOTE: What is a butter swirl? A butter swirl is a portion of tempered butter that is added to a sauce just before serving to enhance the flavor, texture, and appearance. A butter swirl will aid in binding a sauce and it will also introduce a sheen, which is a visually appealing. By tempered we mean butter that is at room temperature.
