this is literally the EASIEST video to follow!! I've made browned butter using your technique twice now and it has turned out perfectly each time & just levels up my chocolate chip cookies and other recipes! thanks so much for making the video so detailed, thorough, and easy to follow!!!
I was so nervous about browning butter for the first time with just enough left in the fridge for one try, and your tutorial made it super easy! No need to run back to the store!!
I absolutely love your channel. I watched a few other videos on how to brown butter and came upon yours. Your video IMO is by far, hands down, the best tutorial for newbies to browning butter as it is very through and shows what the butter should look like at each stage. I did this today for a cinnamon rolls recipe that uses brown butter cream cheese frosting. Kudos and thank you for making this video. You removed my fear of browning butter.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My goal really is to remove the fear from baking so you can really enjoy great desserts. Mission accomplished. ☺️
Tried this today for a cookie recipe (one of yours) and this video was very helpful! To note, I did see another video from a different channel that suggested pouring the browned butter into a heat-proof measuring cup and then adding water to get the volume back to what the original recipe calls for. I kind of met in the middle and used a half-tablespoon of extra butter prior to browning and then just needed a little bit of water to hit the mark I needed for the recipe. It smells amazing, can't wait to try out the cookies! Thank you, again!
Thank you so much. I tried browning butter for the first time the other day and panicked (and stopped) when it really started bubbling. I thought I had messed up the process somehow! Now I know I was headed in the right direction but quit too soon. 😜 Headed to the kitchen now to have another go at it!!
Thank you so much! I tried this for the first time after a recipe called for it and I wasn’t 100% sure, so I watched your video and it was perfect first go! Amazing!!!
Thank you! I started cooking my butter when I realized I really didn't know what I was doing. 😅 I turned on and watched the instructional part of your video while I was whisking and it turned out perfectly! ♥️ Thank you!!
I don't like the time it takes to make brown butter or the time it takes waiting for it to cool. But the difference it makes is well worth it. I pour it into a metal bowl that I then set in a larger bowl with some cold water to hurry the cooling process
Thank you, Sam. I was thinking about trying browned butter in your "Worst Chocolate Chip Cookie" recipe next time. That recipe calls for 1 cup of butter. Should I perhaps start with an extra Tablespoon (or more?) of butter prior to browning to compensate for the water loss?
If I use browned butter instead of regular butter in a recipe, do I measure by the amount of buttery I originally cooked? Or should I measure out the brown butter?
It really depends on the recipe. If the recipe doesn’t call for brown butter there’s a chance you may need to brown slightly more than what the recipe calls for but again it really depends on the recipe
Butter has 15-18% content of water. Check the % of water of the butter you are going to brown, and add that amount as water to the recipe you are going to make.
@@jasminericcardi How do you check the amount of water and do you add water back into it if you're making cookies I'm having such a hard time finding the accurate answer to this question
@@barbra429 On the paper of your butter it's specified the % of fat. The rest is water. In Italy we use grams, so our butter is 83% of fat for 100g grams of butter, the rest, 17% or 17grams, is water. If you are using cups as a measure, you can brown a bigger quantity of the butter the recipe is calling for, and then pour it in a cup(if you have metal cups) Roughly, to get 1 cup of brown butter, you should cook 1 cup + 4-5 tbsp.
This video is so helpful! I have a question though, can I measure out my flour while the butter cools? Or will the butter harden while it cools? Thank you!
It will solidify in the refrigerator and it really depends on the recipe. I have some cookies that use brown butter in them. You have to be careful about just using it anywhere because you cook out some of the moisture and that can mess with some recipes. 😊
You have to be careful about just using it in any recipe because you are cooking out some of the liquid from the butter that could be vital to the way the cookies turn out. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Hi Thanks for your reply 😊 I made some Anzac Biscuits earlier,and first batch of butter had black bits in it,so i slung it and tried again and this time much better,golden brown bits in which is how i left it at to make the Anzac Biscuits.
