Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter cubed
- 20 sage leaves
- salt and fresh black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place unsalted butter in a medium-sized light-coloured pot over medium heat to melt.
- Butter will start to foam up as it continues to heat.
- Once the melted butter starts to change colour (at about the 4 minute mark) toss in the sage leaves.
- Continue to cook for about another minute until the butter has a nutty aroma and there are brown specs in the base of the pan.
- Remove it from the heat straight away and immediately pour melted butter into another dish to stop the cooking process.
- Stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- The butter is cubed so that it melts evenly.
- Once the butter starts to bubble and become foamy, keep watching it. Don't walk away or you risk it burning.
- Make this sauce in a light-coloured pot, this makes it easier to spot the change in colour as the butter cooks.
- It's important to pour the melted butter immediately out of the hot saucepan/pot and into another container once it's "browned", or it will keep cooking with the residual heat in the pot and can burn.
