step 1
First, set out a large heatproof bowl to have at the ready. Place Unsalted Butter (1 cup) chunks in a medium-large light-colored skillet. Melt the butter over medium heat, whisking occasionally. After 5-8 minutes, the butter will start foam and then brown. You’ll start to see brown specks on the bottom and it will have a nutty aroma. When finished the butter will be amber, golden brown and the specks will be brown. Be careful not to burn!
