How do you make brown butter?
Melt Butter:
Add unsalted butter, cut into equal slices, to a saucepan over medium-low heat and melt.
Stir and Watch Closely:
The butter will melt, then foam. Stir constantly as the milk solids sink and begin to brown. You’ll smell a nutty aroma.
Remove When Golden Brown:
As soon as the butter turns golden with brown bits at the bottom (not black!), remove it from the heat to stop it from burning. Pour into a heat-safe bowl to cool.
