Introduction
Discover the simple yet transformative process of browning butter. By melting unsalted butter and caramelizing its milk solids, you unlock rich, nutty, and toffee-like flavors perfect for elevating chocolate chip cookies and other baked goods.
Step 1
Add cubed unsalted butter to a pan.
Step 2
Heat the pan over medium-high heat, allowing the butter to melt and bubble.
Step 3
Once the milk solids start to brown and caramelize at the bottom, whisk them continuously to incorporate them evenly.
Step 4
Continue whisking until the mixture turns golden brown and smells nutty, taking about 5 minutes in total. Remove from heat immediately so it does not burn.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using a light-colored pan (such as stainless steel) makes it much easier to see the color change of the milk solids.
Do not leave the pan unattended, as the transition from perfectly browned butter to burnt butter happens very quickly.
Ensure the butter is cut into uniform cubes so it melts evenly.
