Start by cubbing the room temperature 3 cups + 1 tbsp (690 g). Place it in a light colored pan and melt it over medium-low heat. Make sure to stir constantly.
After the butter has melted, it will start to bubble. It’s very important you pay attention to the pan at all times.
After the bubbles, the top of the butter has a layer of foam, a nutty aroma, and a golden brown look. Turn off the stove and transfer the butter to another container. If it has any burnt bits, strain them with a sieve, but if you only have brown specs, you can leave them as they hold a lot of flavor.
I recommend using a sift when you use a pan so that everything sticks to it, and the bottom will have some burnt pieces.
Let the butter cool to room temperature before you use it.
