Brown Butter

What is ‘brown butter’?

Butter has milk solids in it. When you brown it technically, you’re browning these milk solids.

Browning butter gives it a nutty, caramel-like flavor.

As well, it’s browned butter not burnt butter so don’t leave it unattended. It will brown quickly. I recommend browning it on a low heat and stirring the butter constantly.

Additionally, as it cooks and browns it will splatter, much like bacon does. For this reason, I recommend using a splatter screen when browning butter. (This also helps keep your stovetop clean!)

How to make brown butter

 

 

How to make Browned Butter

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the butter to a low boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer the butter until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring, and scraping the bottom of the pan until the foam subsides. The butter will turn golden brown and give off a nutty aroma. The milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to the bottom. This process takes 2 to 7 minutes depending on the amount you’re browning. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately the butter into a heatproof bowl (unless otherwise noted in the recipe). Don’t leave the butter in a hot pan as it can burn.
