What is brown butter?
Brown butter is simply regular butter that has been browned until it reaches a particular color. It gives off a warmer, nuttier flavor and is perfect for pairing with end-of-summer and fall recipes.

You can make brown butter by simply warming the salted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it is fully melted, watch for it to begin to turn brown.
When it is a medium brown color, is beginning to foam, and is yielding a nutty aroma, remove the browned butter from the heat.
