How to Make Brown Butter Successfully
Browning butter is quite simple but you do have to be careful you don’t burn it. Make it on the stovetop and wait for the nutty aroma to fill your home.
- Light colored pan: If you have it, use a light colored pan. This will help you see when the butter is browned. This will help you tell the difference between browned and burnt.
- Stir: Continue to stir as it melts and watch as it turns to an amber color and smells nutty. Then it’s done.
- Remove: To keep it from continuing to cook, quickly remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Make sure to scrape all the dark brown bits from the bottom. Those are the flavor makers.
- Moisture: When you brown butter, you get incredible flavor but you do lose moisture. That’s why adding yogurt, or milk is necessary.
