butter

Instructions

In terms of the steps, pls take a look at the video. I’ll simply write down a few thoughts.

The problem with brown butter is the inconsistency. Every time you make it, you brown it to a different degree which results in different tasting brown butter. So take a look at my video and try to be consistent!
The burning/browning characteristics are different for every butter so watch out for that.
You lose 20~25% of the weight through evaporation so don’t forget that!
You can make big batches and store them in the fridge. Just cut out a knob and melt it whenever you need it.

Notes

How to store:

Cool it down completely and keep it in the fridge for up to a month. Melt it whenever you need to.

Hi! I’m Hanbit, professional pastry chef and CEO of Sugar Lane Baking Academy based in Seoul, Korea. Funny enough, my background had nothing to do with baking - far from it. I studied mathematics at university and then worked in finance, strategy consulting and IT. Then one day in 2018, I quit my job and enrolled at a pastry school. I have loved it ever since!As my story suggests, I really enjoy being a pastry chef and I am keen to share the joy of baking with as many people as possible. Baking can seem daunting at first but as long as you take it step-by-step anyone can do it - even someone with no baking background like myself managed to become a professional pastry chef!I'll try my best to include detailed explanations and tips in my recipes so that you will be able to bake amazing desserts. I aim to create videos that can be enjoyed by people at all levels - those who bake for fun as well as those who want to get more serious.
