Okay, so if black butter is really brown, what's brown butter? Well, it's brown too ... just lighter. It has a slightly more delicate taste than black butter, and it's also used on fish, as well as white meats and vegetables. Makes enough to use as a sauce on two to three portions.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • spatulas
  • knife
  • heavy saucepans
  • 1/4 c. unsalted butters

  1. Step 1

    Cut butter into pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir the butter or swirl the pan so that the butter doesn't burn.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat when butter turns light brown and gives off a nutty aroma.

Tips & Warnings
  • The butter will continue to cook a little even after it has been removed from the heat, so take that into account.
  • Try adding a little lemon juice to the butter, or some finely chopped parsley.
