How To Make Brown Butter & What To Use It For

Brown butter is simple to make but has a HUGE impact on your recipes. From savory to sweet. Use brown butter in place of regular butter to add a depth of flavor that takes a simple recipe to another level of delicious like in my brown butter frosting and brown butter cake.

If you are not using it right away a nice way to finish is to constantly whisk in an ice bath until it thickens. This will trap all the brown bit goodness in the mix instead of allowing it to sink to the bottom while cooling slowly. Roll it up in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for easy slicing later.

The first time I browned butter, it was by accident because even though I was standing right there I totally forgot about it and then I thought I burned it, so I added more butter so if it wasn't burned it would cool down the whole thing and stop the cooking which caused the whole to to rise and I spilled some of it. After all that mess I ended up with something that smelled devine, I then made chocolate pudding with it and everyone who tasted it loved it.

You are one loveable baker! And an excellent teacher, to boot! Haven't baked in months, my oven's on the fritz. I miss it. You've inspired me, so it's time for a new oven. Keep baking!!!! p.s. Love your little helper I saw a few videos ago. She reminded me of my little helper who is now 24! Time flies.

Not only do you have the recipes that I want to follow because I trust in the science of what you're saying but you're also funny as hell. So promise me something don't ever stop caking!

There you go again, demystifying culinary stuff in the most stylish way. I crack up whenever you bust out a dance move - when I try to dance, I look like a hippo on quaaludes having a seizure. So yes, I’m very envious of your skills 😉

Now I have to try browned butter in recipes (my kid makes ATK’s best chocolate chip cookie recipe and I believe it has bb in it)! Thanks for being such an inspiration, Liz!

I just saw a post that they use it in cream cheese frosting. I bet that's amazing!!

Thanx. This will help my technique when I'm making brown-buttered spaghetti myzithra -a family favorite.

I love your channel your videos teach me some bomb recipes but you have the cutest personality

I’ve heard that adding some dried milk solids while browning is a good way to incorporate more nutty flavor with brown butter.

Oh, use it in rice krispy treats!

My 1st time browning butter was a success, thank you so much! I definitely would have stopped to early if it weren’t for you saying to keep going for 2 minutes when you think you should stop! Can’t wait to try my brown butter banana bread later 😋

[lavonnacox]

I think it would be good on Hot Rolls. You could even add cinnamon to it!! I wanna try it out on Rolls, Biscuits, Toast or maybe even pancakes 🥞 yummy. Can’t wait. I’m making yr icing as we speak 🗣!!

[AmericanBaker]

Such a helpful tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Are you using salted or unsalted butter??

[tdg]

Love you, Liz! ❤️ First time commenting so hopefully you'll answer! My cut out sugar cookie recipe calls for cold butter. Does brown butter solidify after this process? If not, how would I use it in my recipe?

[pamhahn]

I just made this and love it!! However, I cannot find your brown butter buttercream recipe that you mentioned in the video. I cannot wait to try it!
