This is a quick and simply tutorial on how to brown butter. Making brown butter has never been easier with this photographic how-to!

How To Brown Butter

(113 gm) unsalted butter, cut into equal-sized chunks.

How to Brown Butter

Place butter chunks in a light-colored pan over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Once the butter has melted, you&#8217;ll notice it begin to sizzle and foam. Continue stirring occasionally. Once the crackling has subsided, you&#8217;ll notice small golden flecks forming on the bottom of the pan. Begin stirring constantly with a whisk or a spatula to agitate the butter and keep it cooking evenly. Continue cooking until the desired level of brownness is reached. Remove the butter from the pan to a separate bowl to discontinue the cooking process.

I'll be over there soon - going to swim in that butter.

I love browned butter, especially in a linguini pasta, with a little sage. I love it in icing!
But I simply CANNOT taste it when used in baked goods! I tried it in a chess pie (filling) recently and somehow caught notes of it, but whenever I use it in cookies, I’m none the wiser. I even brown it to the third degree. Any kind or brand of butter. I wonder why this is.

Yes! It happened to me as well! I recently made a butter chiffon cake with brown butter browned to the second degree shown in this tutorial and I can't taste it at all. How weird. 

Will try making this cake again with regular butter to compare.

Here I go :) Thank you for your clear explanation and especially for the photos.
