In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and swirl occasionally until it is browned. Don't stir with any kind of tool. Just pick up the saucepan and swirl to keep the milk solids from sticking and burning. This should take about 10 minutes. You want to remove the butter as soon as it becomes golden brown. If you don't pay attention, it will burn very quickly.
