Step 1

Cut butter into small cubes and place in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Let the butter melt and then begin cooking. Stir frequently and watch the butter. It will bubble up and become murky then clear up as the milk solids fall to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Continue cooking and stirring until the butter starts to smell nutty and turns a medium amber color. Remove from the heat and transfer into a heat proof bowl, scraping all of the browned milk solids out of the pan and into your mixture (this is where all the flavor lies!)
