Notes
Make the brown butter:
Method 1 – In a heavy bottom saucepan, heat the butter on a medium flame stirring occasionally for 5-8 mintes till the butter changes in colour and smells nutty. Set aside to cool.
Method 2 – Add the butter into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on full power for about 5-6 minutes, stop to stir once in the middle. Set aside to cool.
