Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the chopped butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Allow the butter to melt slowly, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
  3. Once melted, reduce the heat to low to prevent the butter from browning too quickly.
  4. Whisk continuously for about 1 minute to aerate the butter slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for a brief moment before using.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator if not using immediately.
