Browned Butter

Browned butter, also known as "beurre noisette," is butter that has been gently melted and cooked until the milk solids turn golden brown. This process enhances the butter's flavor, adding a rich, nutty aroma and taste. The heat causes the milk proteins to brown and develop complex flavors, making it a versatile ingredient for baking, sauces, and finishing dishes. The result is a deeper, more savory butter with a fragrant aroma, elevating both sweet and savory recipes. Care must be taken to avoid burning, as the butter can quickly go from browned to burnt.
