- 1 whisk you may also use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment

- 113 grams butter unsalted, one stick
For a Spreadable Butter

Instructions
For a Classic Whipped Brown Butter
- Heat a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium-low heat, and add 113 grams (1 stick) of butter to the pan.
- Once the butter melts, stir intermittently with a silicone spatula until the butter begins to bubble and foam.
- When the butter starts foaming and frothing, keep stirring, scraping the bottom of the pan to keep an eye for the milk solids starting to brown. If you can't see through the foam, remove the pan from the heat until the foaming stops. You can easily return the pan to the heat if it's not quite done yet!
- Once the butter browns, remove the pan from heat and allow the butter to cool before placing it in an airtight container in the fridge to firm up.
- When the butter is firm, whip it using a wire whisk or mixer to incorporate the browned bits that have separated from the rest of the butter.
- Use immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge. You may also freeze the butter for up to a month.
For a Spreadable Whipped Brown Butter
- Prepare the butter in the same manner as the above recipe, allowing the butter to cool in the fridge until firm.
- Rewhip the butter to combine the browned bits.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil, making sure it's fully incorporated into the butter.
- Use immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge. You may also freeze the butter for up to a month.
