Brown butter recipes
Brown butter (also known as beurre noisette) adds something special to everything it’s added to; a sweetness to savoury dishes and a wonderful complexity to bakes, with a unique nuttiness. Check out our favourite ways with beurre noisette.
Add a unique depth to your sweet treats with the irresistible peanut butter and jam brown butter sponge cake, our tahini, brown butter and sea salt blondies, or a brown butter caramel and rye bread gelato.
If you’re in the mood for something savoury, try our tortellini with pumpkin, brown butter and sage or seabream with spring onion and brown butter sauce.
