How to Brown Butter
Report
Learn how to brown butter with this easy tutorial and take your baked goods and savory dishes to the next level! You can brown most any amount of butter at a time, but I have found that 1 cup is a good amount to practice with for beginners to this classic French technique.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, salted, 227g
Instructions
- Gently melt the unwrapped sticks of butter in a light-colored medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Increase the heat to medium and continue to cook the butter while stirring or swirling frequently with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula so that it cooks evenly on the bottom of the pan. Watch for the butter to foam, bubble, and spit as some of the water content cooks off. Be careful of getting splattered with hot melted butter.
- Look for browned flecks in the bottom of the pan and notice the aroma of the butter turning nutty and fragrant. These are the main indicators that your brown butter is ready and should be removed from the heat. You can also watch for the foaming to die down and a decrease in the spitting and sizzling.
- Carefully pour the hot browned butter into a heat-safe container so that it doesn't continue to cook and burn from the residual heat of the pan. Let it cool before using.
Notes
- Yield: About 3/4 cup brown butter.
- Storage: You can store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for around 3 months.
