Brown Butter Tips

If you’ve tossed out countless pots of brown butter and you just can’t seem to get the recipe right, these tips are for you! We all know browning butter can be a bit tricky, and it’s the key ingredients in these gluten free cinnamon almond butter muffins. These are the 5 tips I follow every time & it gives me the best tasting brown butter. Now they can help you too! Let’s get into it!

Add the butter to a light colored pan over high heat.
- Having a light colored pan will help you see the butter clearly! You’ll know when it goes from bright yellow, to a darker yellow, and finally settling to brown.
Once the butter fully melts, reduce the heat to medium.
- Melting the butter on high gets you jumpstarted on the process. As soon as the entire block of butter has melted, quickly reduce the heat to medium. This heat change will give you control of the browning process.
Constantly stir the butter in a clockwise (or counterclockwise) direction.
- Stirring ensures even cooking time and prevents burning.
Once the butter starts to darken, immediately remove the pot from the stove.
- Don’t wait for the butter to get very dark! As soon as you see brown specs appear, you’re good to go! There’s only a few seconds between having great brown butter and getting burnt butter.
Pour the browned butter into a heat-safe glass dish and let it cool to room temperature.
- Even if it’s off the stove, the butter can still burn in the pot! I use Pyrex or any clear glass dish that can handle high heat. It’ll help the butter cool to room temperature.
