How to brown butter for cookies?
Baking Questions
Brown butter (or beurre noisette) adds an incredible nutty, caramel flavor to cookies. To make it:
- Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly
- After it bubbles, golden particles will appear at the bottom and a nutty aroma will develop
- Remove from heat immediately when it reaches a golden amber color
- Cool it and refrigerate until solid before using in your recipe
Use it as a direct replacement for regular butter.
