PREPARATION TIME:
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 kg butter unsalted
- salt optional, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
Make the brown butter
-
Place the butter in the pan and melt it over medium-high heat. Stir the butter occasionally as it melts.
-
As the butter melts, it will start to foam. This is the water in the butter evaporating. Keep stirring the butter occasionally to prevent it from burning.
-
After several minutes, the foam will start to subside and the milk solids will start to fall to the bottom of the pan. At this point, lower the heat to medium low. Keep stirring, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent the solids from sticking and burning.
-
Keep checking the color of the milk solids at the bottom of the pan by spooning them up and looking at them. (It will likely begin to foam again.)
-
Once the milk solids have browned, remove the butter from the heat source. The residual heat in the pan will continue to cook the butter, so it’s important to remove it from the heat as soon as it’s done.
-
Allow the brown butter to cool slightly and add salt, to taste, if desired.
Making the brown butter bites
-
Add the brown butter to the silicone candy molds. For best results evenly distribute the brown bits amongst the candy mold openings.
-
Place the trays in the fridge or freezer until solid.
-
Remove the brown butter bites from the molds.
Making whipped brown butter bites
-
Pour the brown butter into a bowl and allow it to cool until solid yet soft.
-
Whip the brown butter with an electric beater or an immersion blender.
-
Add the whipped brown butter to candy molds and freeze or refrigerate until solid.
-
Unmold the solid bites from the molds.
Notes:
When making numerous trays of brown butter bites, cover each tray with parchment paper to stack the trays.
Once solidified, remove the bites from the molds and serve immediately or store for later in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
