Today, we made Pan de Muertos. Kind of significant since it was the first recipe I put up on the site. While waiting for the bread to proof, I decided it would be nice to have a special spread to have while eating it. What better place to start for a full flavoured bread than brown butter? I used some of the spices I already had out for the bread, but find that the flavour would lend itself to many varieties of sweet loaves, holiday treats and coffee cakes.
You will need:
100g / 3.5oz brown butter
30ml / 2Tbs sweetened condensed milk
2.5ml / 1/2tsp vanilla paste
pinch grated nutmeg
pinch ground cinnamon
to taste kosher salt
Method:
- warm up the brown butter in a pan- add the condensed milk and spices and mix (don't worry if it stays separated)
- season to taste
- move the spiced butter to the fridge for a few minutes
- as the butter cools, stir it vigorously with a spatula to emulsify the mix
- once it is stable, transfer it to a container and keep stored in the fridge
- when using, pull it out of the fridge early to temper up as you would table butter
- enjoy!
