Brown butter, squash, baking: Hardly anything screams fall as loud, huh? We partnered with Work Sharp Culinary, purveyor of at-home knife sharpeners, to share—and show you!—a perennial fall favorite at Food52.
Brown butter butternut rolls, brown butter butternut rolls...try saying that ten times fast! And then high-tail it to the market to pick up fall's other famous squash, the butternut, to make these rolls stat. (Pumpkin, who?) A serious hit from the first time our test kitchen tasted them, these yeasted, baked jewels are from longtime Food52 contributor inpatskitchen. Whether for breakfast or a midnight snack—or, really, any moment in between—they're just what the season ordered.
Bask in all the delights that these little dough nuggets have to share:
- The brown butter amps up the nuttiness factor and makes the rolls soft and buttery.
- They use up leftover squash from a roasting fest, or if you just have extra chopped and stored in the fridge. Whoever in your crowd has a savory tooth (hello, I'd like to be your friend!) will be mighty happy with these, also thanks to the squash.
- More butter, the better. Each ball gets rolled in honey brown butter so it'll be slightly sweet and all glisten-y.
- That honey brown butter? Serve it alongside the rolls once they've come out of the oven. You won't be sorry giving these little poufs an extra swish of it.
