Method
Step 1
BROWNED BUTTER: Begin by placing the butter in a small saucepan, medium-high heat, for about 3-5 minutes. Make sure to stir constantly until the butter has browned. Pour the brown butter into a heatproof bowl, make sure to scrape all the delicious toasted bits into the bowl as well. You won’t regret it! Place the bowl in the fridge for a couple of hours until room temperature or in the freezer for a much quicker option. The butter should not be liquid. Once the butter is at room temperature, it is ready for baking!
