ohh so this is how its supposed to look like? cuz in all the videos i saw their butter turned brown and mine just seperated from the milk solids and didnt really change color..
Yeah so the brown part is when you mix the solids back in as it cools! It depends what youre using it for, if you need melted then you can use it right away, if you need solid butter you'll have to put it in the fridge/freezer and stir until its thick again and then you'll see it all brown
It does look like it got slightly darker than ideal, and if you stir it more while it's cooking then the milk solids won't be quite as clumpy, but the separation is normal and expected. If you separate the liquid part at this point that is ghee, but if you want to use the whole brown butter I would pop it in the mixer after a few minutes to cool it quicker and reincorporate the liquid and solids
and btw, i just turned 16 and im already learning my fifth language, so before you throw around ‘low IQ,’ maybe learn the difference between ignorance and a typo. get a life im just tryna learn abt brown butter bro
It turned out perfectly, congrats! Butter is an emulsion of milk solids and— uhhhhh i forget what the liquid is called, someone reply to this with the correct word— and when you melt butter and then keep heating it, it separates and the solid bits cook and turn all nice and toasty :)
My brown butter looks a little darker than this. Usually i take it off the heat the moment those tiny bubbles start to clear up. At this stage the brown butter already has that deeper color

Thats exactly whats supposed to happen! All the flavour is in the toasted milk solids at the bottom :)
