For this recipe you\u2019ll need only eight ingredients, most of them pantry staples. To start things out you\u2019re going to brown the butter. If you\u2019re not familiar with this process don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s really quite simple. You\u2019ll heat one stick of butter (half a cup) in a medium-sized saucepan until it begins to boil. At this point you\u2019ll want to continuously swirl the butter around in the pan to continue cooking, but avoid burning. The butter will start to darken and you\u2019ll know it\u2019s time to remove it from the heat when it\u2019s amber in color.<\/p>\n
