Brown Butter Biscuits
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400° F.
- Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a skillet or small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl or stir the butter with a wooden spoon as it starts to foam and sputter. Remove the butter from the heat as soon as it begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gently stir in the brown butter and milk.
- On a floured surface, shape the dough with your hands into a 1/2-inch-thick disk. Cut the dough into 2-inch round biscuits. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until the tops are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with jam and clotted cream or butter.
- Brown butter adds richness to muffins, shortbread, and scones. Use it at room temperature as a substitute for the cold butter called for in your recipe.
