Notes
- While it’s not difficult to brown butter, you want to be careful not to burn the butter by accident.
- To prevent this, I recommend using a pan with a lighter colored bottom so you can monitor the color of the butter better.
- You’ll know the butter is ready when it turns a dark golden brown and smells nutty. When this happens, remove the butter from heat right away to avoid overcooking.
- This usually occurs after about 2-3 minutes of boiling over medium heat on my stove.
