This simple guide will teach you how to brown butter! One thing and a few minutes are all you need!
SERVINGS: 8 SERVINGS– ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick; 115 grams)EQUIPMENT– light-colored skillet or saucepan– rubber spatula– heat-proof bowl
Ingredients
Step 1
Insert tablespoon-sized butter chunks into a light-colored skillet or pot. Butter should melt thoroughly in the skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Stir butter often with a rubber spatula as you cook. Butter will bubble/sputter and foam after melting. Small milk solids will sink to the bottom of the pan and brown quickly.
Step 3
When milk solids brown on the pan and a nutty fragrance appears, the butter is browned. To accelerate browning, raise the heat to medium.
Step 4
Immediately remove the skillet from heat and pour butter into a heatproof dish. Remember to scrape off the browned bits from the bottom of the pan—they contain all the flavour!
Step 5
Remember to scrape off the browned bits from the bottom of the pan—they contain all the flavour! Utilise as desired.
