Jump to RecipeI love the smell of brown butter cooking. It makes your whole kitchen smell like toffee! I actually figured out how to make brown butter by accident when I was trying to make ghee. My kids were asking for my attention, and opps, the ghee was brown. I was wondering if I had burned it. It is possible to burn it, but I saved it just in time.
Brown butter and pecans taste just like candy and give the crumble a little crunch. Add fresh, ripe peaches for a burst of flavor.
