Classic Brown Butter Sauce

1. 1

   Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, swirling occasionally so that it cooks evenly.

2. 2

   After a few minutes, the butter will begin to foam.

3. 3

   As the foam settles into the bottom of the pan, the solids will begin to darken.

4. 4

   when butter starts to turn a caramel color with a rich nutty aroma, decrease heat so the solids don't burn.

5. 5

   Remove saucepan from heat and let cool 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve, or, once butter is completely cool, store it covered in refrigerator for two weeks, or freeze it in an ice-cube tray and defrost a cube or two per use.
