Swoon, LOVE brown butter. For savory it goes esp. well with sage, per the above-listed pasta recipe. But I love it best in sweets. Smitten Kitchen has a couple of great recipes: a brown butter shortbread crumble bar (the recipe has sliced peaches in it, I usually do it with thinly sliced pear); and salted brown butter rice crispie treats!! I love those with pumpkin pie spice. Mmmmm...
Ha, I just came here to recommend Smitten Kitchen's brown butter rice krispie treats, but Brooklynnina beat me to it! They really are delicious.
This could be a silly question, but what's a good vegan alternative for brown butter? What would give you a similar flavour?
Browned butter rosemary walnut cookies-- FTW. Of all the cookies I make for Christmas; those are *always* the ones that come back with the most rave reviews.
