Instructions
Cut the butter into approximately 1 tablespoon sized cubes.
Place the butter into a pan over medium heat to melt the butter.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir the butter. It will start forming but don’t worry. Continue to stir until the butter starts to brown.
After 6 to 8 minutes, the milk solids at the bottom of the pan will be brown and look like they were toasted.
Once done, remove the pan from heat and immediately transfer the butter into a heat-safe bowl so the butter does not continue to cook in a hot pan.

Notes
It should smell nutty and buttery when it's done.
Keep a close eye on the butter as it goes from browning to browned to burned really quickly.
Brown butter is freezer friendly, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Using a light colored pan makes it easier to see the progress of the butter as it browns and tell when it’s ready.
Do not discard the milk solids as they are packed with flavor.
