How is Brown Butter Made?

Brown butter is butter that is cooked until the milk solids turn brown. When you’re cooking the butter, it will separate into fat and milk solids. The longer you cook it, the darker the milk solids will become. Note that it doesn’t take a lot of time for the solids to go from brown to black (aka burnt) so you really need to watch it when you’re cooking.

To make brown butter, place the butter in a light colored pan and cook it over med-low heat. The light pan is important (white or stainless steel) so that you can see the color of the butter. The butter will foam up a lot when it’s cooking, stir in between to prevent it from sticking to bottom..when the colour is changed and its browned leaving behind the milk solids,and it smells nutty flavour turn off the gad and strain into a container. Make sure to scrape in all of those delicious brown bits as that’s where the flavour is!
