Notes
How to brown butter?
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir continuously, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges. Once the butter turns golden brown and foamy, remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl to cool off. *It is recommended to let the batter chill or freeze overnight for the best taste.
