Servings: 3 oz
Ingredients
- 1 stick 4 oz butter, salted or unsalted*
- A small sauce pan or skillet with a light colored bottom
- Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
Instructions
- Add the whole stick of butter to your pan and melt over medium heat.
- Once melted and bubbling, stir frequently to prevent splattering and burning.
- Continue to cook and stir the butter over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. The foam will start to subside and the milk solids will have separated from the rest of the fat. Once the solids have turned a golden amber color, immediately remove the butter from the heat and transfer it to a small dish.
- Use immediately for a sauce or allow the butter to cool to room temperature for baking.
- Store leftover browned butter in the fridge.
Notes
You can use room temperature or cold butter. Cold butter will just take a minute or two longer to melt.
