Servings: 7 tablespoons brown butter
Equipment
- Heatproof spoon
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Melt the butter. Cube the butter and melt it in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.8 tablespoons butter
- Listen for the sizzle. As it heats, the butter will sizzle around the edges. Keep stirring occasionally, especially if it foams.
- Crackling stage. The sizzle will turn into a sharper crackling sound. Keep going (and stirring regularly).
- Quiet phase. The crackling will fade and things will turn quiet. You're close.
- Check for browning. Stir and look for lots of brown specks at the bottom. A rich, nutty aroma means it’s ready.
- Remove from heat. Once browned, take it off the heat and use as needed.
- (Optional) Strain the butter. If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the brown butter through a fine-mesh sieve. I typically skip this step.
