Ingredients

  • Butter:

Instructions

  • Prepare the Butter:
  • Step 1
    - Cube the Butter: Cube your butter. Starting with cubed butter helps it to melt more quickly and evenly.
  • Step 2
    - Melt the Butter: In a medium stainless steel sauté pan or skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Step 3
    - Cook the Butter: Swirling the pan occasionally, continue to cook the butter. It should become foamy with audible cracking and popping noises.
  • Step 4
    - Develop the Flavor: Once the crackling stops, stir the mixture occasionally until the butter develops a nutty aroma and brown bits start to form at the bottom. Don't swirl the pan too often; we want to encourage those nice brown bits on the bottom to continue to form. However, sometimes it's difficult to tell how browned the butter is without stirring.
  • Step 5
    - Finish the Butter: Once the bits are amber in color, about 2 to 3 minutes after the popping stops, remove from heat. Use as the recipe indicates. Be sure to scrape out those little flecks of brown in the bottom of the pan-they are toasted milk solids and are FULL of flavor.
