Browned Butter- How To Make It
Browned butter adds a dynamic of flavor to these muffins that brings them to the next level. Thankfully, browned butter is super easy to make and requires very little hands on work.
When you make browned butter the one thing to keep in mind is to make sure that you take the time to stir it the whole time you are making it. Don’t worry, it is only a 5-7 minute process. When the bottom of the pan isn’t stirred enough the milk solids have a tendency to stick and burn. The goal of browned butter is to toast the milk solids without burning them. The only step to making browned butter is heat it in a saucepan until the butter is a light golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
