Brown butter, or beurre noisette, is the secret ingredient used by bakers and chefs to take their dishes to the next level. This simple, one-ingredient recipe is such an easy way to elevate your home baked goods.

Why You'll Love Brown Butter – all it takes is a few tablespoons of butter and a hot pan – it imparts a rich, toasted flavor – ready in mere minutes with just a few simple steps

The only ingredient needed to make this brown butter recipe is butter. Salted or unsalted butter can be used here. I prefer unsalted so I control the amount of salt used in a dish.

One important tool that you'll need is a light-colored metal pan or skillet. Avoid using a dark-colored or nonstick pan to make browned butter. Seeing the color of the butter as it melts and cooks is, therefore, crucial for success.

Set a light-colored pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add a stick of butter or more to the pan. Cold butter or room temperature may be used.

Stir or swirl the butter around the pan as it melts. Be sure to continue stirring and to stay close to the stovetop so the butter does not burn. As the milk solids begin to separate, they will turn a rich golden brown color and settle to the bottom. At this point, remove the pan from the heat.

Stir the butter to ensure the butter melts and cooks evenly. Stay close to the stovetop so the butter does not burn. As the milk solids begin to separate, they will turn a rich golden brown color. At this point, remove the pan from the heat.

This entire process takes about 5-8 minutes total. Scrape it into a heatproof bowl. Be sure to scrape all those brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the heat proof bowl - this is where a lot of the flavor is!
