Brown Butter
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Instructions
- Add butter to a stainless or nonstick skillet. Darn skillets are NOT ideal as it's hard to tell if the butter is browning.
- Heat over medium, stirring often. It will bubble and foam.
- Remove the skillet off of the heat once it turns a deep golden brown.
