2. For the brown butter, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam and crackle (don't stand too close, it might spit at you!). That is a great sign. Once the crackling subsides, keep an eye on the butter as it will begin to brown. You will begin to smell the butter as it browns. This takes between 5-7 minutes. Once the butter is completely brown, remove and place in a small bowl to cool.
