Okay, so really just brown. Regardless, butter can be so much more than a pale yellow. Have you ever tried browning butter? Let me rock your world. Many people are aware of how flavours are deepened and accentuated by toasting ingredients. Nuts and seeds become even more flavourful by toasting them, deepening their colour and wakening up the natural oils within them, allowing their flavour to intensify. Did you know that you can "toast" butter too? YOU CAN. YOU CAN. AND IT IS SO GOOD. When you brown butter, what is really happening is you are toasting/browning the protein solids in the butter. This means that the flavour and smell of the butter changes, becoming almost nutty. This is a very sneaky way of increasing flavour and fancy-ing up some of your most basic recipes. It adds a certain, "Woah what is this delicious mystery flavour?" to whatever you put it on. My favourite uses so far have included chocolate chip cookies, Rice Krispie treats, and even on roasted vegetables. Brown Butter Here is how to achieve the kitchen magic trick that is known as "Brown Butter":
Gosh darn I love this. This is real brown butter, in a tiny fake pan. It still smells delicious. Recipes using this fabulous ingredient are sure to be in our future! Stay tuned.
