Using a large frying over medium heat, add the butter. You can cube it or add it in whole. Use a baking rubber spatula to mix it. Once the butter melts, it can very easily go from still cooking to burnt, so don't walk away from the kitchen.
1 cup Unsalted butter plus 2 Tablespoons
Heat until the butter is melted. Then, let the butter sit while it bubbles. Stir the butter while it bubbles and cracks, this is the water content evaporating. Next, it will begin to foam up on the top. Keep stirring to watch the bottom of the pan. The milk solids will separate and turn an amber golden color. Once the milk solids are golden brown, take off the heat immediately. It is easy to burn at this step. This whole process takes 5-10 minutes.
Pour the brown butter into a measuring cup, it will equal to 1 cup. It will be very foamy, but the foam will quickly melt into the butter. Cool completely before using.
