Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 8 pieces)
Instructions
- In a small, light-colored saucepan set over medium heat, add the butter and stir until melted.
- As the butter heats up it will start to foam over the top and bubble around the edges. At this point, turn up the heat to medium high and continue stirring. Small golden bits settle on the bottom of the pan. Continue stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan for 1-3 minutes as they deepen to a bronze. Use your senses to guide you: you should see the deep golden bits on the bottom of the pan (think the color of golden pancakes) and smell the most delicious nutty, caramelized fragrance. Once the bits are a bronzed immediately take off of the heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl to cool. Be sure to scrape all of the bronzed milk solids into the bowl.
- Brown butter can be used once cooled or stored in an air-tight in the fridge for a later date.
Notes
**See notes in blog post regarding substituting brown butter for melted butter or solid butter in recipes.
**If you're new to browning butter, remove the pan from the heat as soon as you see golden bits forming on the bottom of the pan and then continue to stir off of the heat until it reaches the desired 'pancake' color described above.
