Ingredients

Method 1 and 2

  • 1 Cup Nonfat dry milk powder

Method 3

  • 1 Tablespoon Nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2 teaspoons Water
  • 1 Cup Butter, cut into one-inch pieces (226g)

Instructions

Method one, stovetop

  1. Place up to one cup of M. powder in a wide medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat.

  2. Cook while stirring every 30-60 seconds until medium golden brown. Use a wooden spoon to scratch the bottom of the pan if you feel that the powder sticks.

  3. Place the golden brown powder in a food processor and process until finw.

  4. Allow to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container.

Method Two, oven

  1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the powder evenly.

  2. Bake at 220F for 40-60 minutes, tossing and stirring every 10-15 minutes until medium golden brown.

  3. Allow to cool, then place in an airtight container.

Method Three, Enhanced Brown Butter

  1. In a small bowl, mix the powder and water, set aside.

  2. Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and allow the butter the melt.

  3. Once the butter has melted, add the powder-water mixture and continue cooking.

  4. As the butter cooks, it will have a thick foamy layer on top, and it will sizzle.

  5. Once the sizzling stops, remove from heat and stir. You will notice golden brown speckles. You don't want them to get darker.

  6. Pour the melted butter into molds, or use.

Recipe Notes

  • Store at room temperature for 8-10 weeks in an airtight container.
  • Use one tablespoon for every 1/2 cup (113g) of butter, or for every one cup of flour (120g).

    Remove the same amount of flour if using more than two tablespoons for every one cup of flour. For example, if you mix 4 tablespoons (28g) of toasted milk powder for every cup of flour, remove two tablespoons of flour.
