Steps:
- Prepare the saffron and make a roux. Put the warm water in a small bowl and crumble the saffron into it. Set aside to infuse. Meanwhile, melt the butter on medium heat. Add the onions and salt, and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and continue cooking until just fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Whisking constantly, add the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat until you can see the garlic bits in the roux getting toasty and the whole thing developing a golden hue, about 3 minutes.
- Finish the sauce. When your roux is lightly golden, add the milk in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Next, add the white wine and the saffron-infused water. Keep whisking; the sauce will thicken and smooth. Once it does, remove it from the heat and stir in the cream. Taste and adjust salt if necessary, and whisk in chili powder (optional). If the texture is too rich, stir in a bit more milk, a little at a time.

Steps:
- Crumble the saffron, add it to the wine let steep until the saffron begins to color the wine, about 15 minutes. Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, saffron and thyme, if using. Bring to a boil and cook until the skillet is almost dry, about 3 minutes. Taste, and remove the thyme before it becomes strong. Add the clam juice; bring to a boil and cook until reduced by about half, about 6 minutes. The flavor should be assertive at this point since the cream will mellow the intensity. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a bowl or glass measure, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the skillet. Add the cream, bring to a boil and reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and is the desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a squeeze of lemon juice, if needed.

SAFFRON SAUCE
Courtesy of my sister, who succeeded in replacing Sauce Hollondaise, which I absolutely don't like, with this fluffy and aromatic gem of a sauce. Goes wonderfully with green or white asparagus, breadsticks, or pretty much everything :).
