Ingredients
  

  • butter

Instructions
 

  • Place the pieces of butter in your light-coloured pan.
  • Turn the heat onto medium. Medium heat ensures the butter cooks evenly.
  • Begin stirring to move the butter around as it melts.
  • Once melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges.
  • Keep stirring.
  • In about 5-8 minutes from when you started (depending on the amount of butter you used), the butter will turn golden brown.
  • The foam will slightly subside and the milk solids on the bottom of the pan will toast.
  • Remove immediately from the heat and pour the butter into a heat proof bowl.
  • It will smell intensely buttery, nutty, and rich.
