Browned Butter

Is this your first time browning butter? Well, don’t freak out, because I’m going to help make sure you master this easy step. Follow the directions below and then move on to the next step of the brown butter blondies recipe.

• To brown your butter, simply add the cold butter to a room temperature medium saucepan.
• On medium heat let the butter melt completely while stirring often, this helps prevent the butter from burning.
• As the butter cooks it will start to turn a nutmeg brown color, this is the color that lets you know it’s done.
• Remove from heat immediately and then set aside to cool. That’s it! You did it! You made browned butter! Now add this secret ingredient to other recipes to help enhance the flavor of your favorite desserts.

For Best Results

For the best results of this recipe make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. Even though the brownies will look underdone, do not be tempted to bake it any longer than the max time listed.

Another tip is to make sure you let these blondies sit and cool completely before you cut into them. If you do decide to cut into them while they are still warm, use a plastic knife. 

Storage

Do not refrigerate these brownies, they will dry out! Instead, keep these brownies stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. Freeze these brownies for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
