Step 1

Cut butter into squares and place into a stainless steel saucepan and melt on medium heat.

Step 2

Whisk gently. Butter will foam up.

Step 3

You will begin to see the butter turning a yellow/brown color after a few minutes. Keep whisking.

Step 4

Once it's a toasty brown (not black) and you can smell a nutty aroma, it's done.

Step 5

Remove butter from heat and place in a heat-proof container to cool. Butter can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for 2 weeks.
