brown butter

Brown butter is regular butter that decided to be more interesting. When the milk solids toast in the pan, you get a nutty, caramel-forward depth that changes everything it touches.

It shows up at its best in fall and winter cooking, where it belongs over butternut squash ravioli, folded into garlic mashed potatoes, and drizzled over honey-roasted root vegetables alongside a holiday beef tenderloin.
