Why doesn't my butter brown?

| Two times now I've tried to brown butter. It melts, it gets foamy, it bubbles, I stir, and I never get browned bits. Just now, I let it bubble for at least 10 minutes - nothing. I did not stire constantly - I let it sit for several seconds between stirs. What am I doing wrong? |

Maybe your heat isn't high enough?

| Wait longer? It's not immediate (although more like 10-15 min than 30). I have never stirred constantly either. |

| Are you putting enough in the pan? You need a certain amount (I don’t know how much), or else it won’t brown properly. You can’t make brown butter from one pat of butter. |

| I've had this experience because I was afraid of burning the butter. Try turning the heat up a bit. |
