How To Brown Butter Perfectly Every time
Brown butter is a flavor bomb for your cooking and baking recipes. It is regular butter that is first melted and then cooked further over heat until the milk solids get golden, toasted and nutty. It is cooked a little past the melting point and is very simple to prepare.
Equipment
- Heavy bottom sauce pot
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 227 gm unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a sauce pot on low to medium heat, add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Once melted, use a whisk to keep stirring the melted butter. The melted butter will start spluttering and then form large bubbles on top of the melted butter.
- It will then create smaller bubbles which will bubble up into a foam. Do no stop stirring. This will happen quickly so do not leave the sauce pot.
- Take it off the heat once the milk solids in the melted butter have turned a golden brown color or it is a deep amber color.
- Pour into a bowl to stop the cooking process. Cool down at room temperature.
Notes
- Do not stop stirring the sauce pot once the butter has melted
- Reduce the heat to control the browning if needed
