How to Make Brown Butter

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.
