Brown Butter Solids Removed
Brown butter with solids removed is beurre noisette strained of toasted milk solids—nutty liquid fat without the speckled bits. Use when you want noisette flavour in a smooth sauce or dressing. Brown whole butter first, then strain. Solids are delicious on pasta separately; the strained fat is stable and aromatic.
