Browned Sage Butter
Makes 2 logs
1-LB butter
1-oz fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Notes: When making browned butter, at first, the milk solids will 'foam' first and then bubble. Then, you’ll start to hear a slight hissing punctuated by popping and crackling sounds.
Slowly, the white milk solids will start to sink to the bottom of the pan. Fairly soon thereafter, you should start to smell a hazelnut-like fragrance; you should see the milk solids browning on the bottom.
Slowly, the white milk solids will start to sink to the bottom of the pan. Fairly soon thereafter, you should start to smell a hazelnut-like fragrance; you should see the milk solids browning on the bottom.
Directions
In a large, deep skillet, melt over Medium heat, the butter.
The butter will foam and hiss tremendously. When you smell hazelnut-like fragrance, immediately remove the pan from the heat; pour mixture into a medium bowl, being sure to scrape the browned milk solids from the bottom of the pan. Set aside and allow the butter come to room temperature. Then, refrigerate briefly, until it is of a spreadable consistency.
Since the browned bits and sage leaves sink to the bottom during the cooling process, scrape the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whip on Medium speed until fluffy and the browned bits and sage leaves are incorporated throughout the butter.
Have 2 sheets of wax paper ready. Divide the whipped butter onto the wax paper (8-oz on each sheet) and roll tightly into a cylinder. Place the butter rolls in a labeled plastic freezer bag, and freeze.
To use, slice off the amount you will need, and thaw to room temperature.
