Notes

How to make browned butter:
  • Place the butter into a light colored pan over medium heat.
  • Stir the butter with a whisk or rubber spatula the whole time until the butter begins to foam and butter begins to brown,~6-8 minutes.
  • It's important to not walk away during this process because the butter can burn quickly.
  • When it's done you will notice the milk solids at the bottom of the pan become brown.
  • Remove the butter from heat, and pour into a large heat-proof bowl (such as glass or stainless) to let cool ~10 minutes.
  • Do not let butter cool in the pan, as it will continue to brown and possibly burn.
