How to Brown Butter

0 Melt the butter in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat.
1 Stir or swirl frequently. The butter will bubble and crackle as it cooks, as well as begin to smell nutty.
2 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.
3 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.
