Kitchen Tools & Ingredients To Make Brown Butter

• Salted OR Unsalted Butter

• Whisk

Substituting Browned Butter For Butter In Baking Recipes

Even if your recipe doesn’t specifically call for brown butter you can still substitute it yourself! Doing so adds lots of deep, rich nutty flavor and oftentimes makes the recipe taste even better!

If you choose to do so, keep in mind that you’ll need to brown more butter than what your recipe calls for. This is because when browning butter, the amount of butter you start out with will not be the amount you end up with.

This is due to the loss of water from the browning process. To make sure you have enough brown butter for your recipe you’ll want to add an additional tablespoon of butter for every 1/2 cup of butter called for in the recipe.

Once your butter is browned, you’ll need to measure out the correct amount your recipe calls for.

1. Heat sliced butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the butter until its fully melted.
3. Whisk the butter constantly as it continues to cook until it begins to smell nutty and turns golden brown.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the butter turns golden brown to ensure it doesn’t burn.
5. Store the brown butter or use it in your desired recipe!

Using Brown Butter In Different Forms

If you’re using a recipe that calls for brown butter, make sure to check to see what form it calls for! Some recipes will call for melted, room temperature, or cold.

When the recipe calls for melted brown butter, such as a brown butter sauce for pasta or vegetables, you can use it as soon as the browning process is complete! Whereas if it calls for room-temperature brown butter, you’ll need to wait a bit.

For room-temperature brown butter, transfer the freshly browned butter to a heat-safe container. Then let it sit at room temperature for about an hour.

Lastly, for cold brown butter, you’ll need to place the melted browned butter into a heat-safe container. Then, place it in the refrigerator until it becomes solid.

Once the brown butter has adjusted to the form in which you need it, it can be used in your recipe!

How To Store Brown Butter

To store brown butter, place it in an airtight container or glass jar with a tight lid. Then store the brown butter in the fridge and use it within 10 days.
