10 Reasons It's Better with (Brown) Butter

Mo' butta', mo' betta': You can't go wrong with butter, and plenty of it. Here's a replay of recipes that use butter in a very good way -- browned.

Everyone knows that butter is pretty much the world’s perfect food. Butter makes everything better: Cakes are more tender, sauces become richer, meat seems juicier, the sky is bluer....

There is more to butter, however, than that familiar yellow block we all know and love. Brown butter (or beurre noisette if you are feeling fancy) deserves a place in every cook’s repertoire, especially during fall and winter. With its nutty aroma and flavor, brown butter adds complexity to pretty much any dish, from vegetables to dessert. All you need is a good pan and a few minutes at the stove. Think outside the one-pound box of butter in your fridge with these delicious recipes, and enjoy butter -- all grown up.
