Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 stick

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Stir or swirl frequently. The butter will bubble and crackle as it cooks, as well as begin to smell nutty.
  3. Brown bits will form in the bottom of the skillet, so continue to stir (or swirl) until they turn medium brown in color. This will take anywhere from 5-10 minutes, just depending on your stovetop and the heat.
  4. Remove the skillet from the burner and pour the brown butter into a heat-proof bowl, crumbs and all. Let cool before transferring to a food storage container.

Notes

  • How to store: Keep brown butter in the refrigerator for a few weeks in an airtight food container. You may also freeze it for up to 6 months.
