Here are some commonly asked questions

How long does it take to brown butter?

This is not a recipe that will be done quickly. You don’t want to scorch your butter or sugar. Just be patient. It is very easy to go from brown to burnt. That won’t taste great.

Just let the butter melt and then watch closely as small brown specks begin to form in the foam. It will also start to have an aroma of nuts. At that time you can remove it from the heat. This can take several minutes, but it is well worth it.

How does it take to make this caramel?

Actual cooking time is about 15 minutes for this. Again, be patient. You don’t want to rush a good thing.

Depending on your stove, this can vary a bit. It will take time for the sugar crystals to melt down. Just keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t get out of hand. You need to be able to add the other ingredients at the appropriate time.

If you have a high-output range you will want to make this recipe on your lowest BTU burner so it doesn’t cook too quickly causing your moisture to evaporate faster.
