Hot Sauce Brown Butter Recipes

BUFFALO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, gently simmering the butter and stirring the pan occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the milk solids at the bottom of the pan start to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. It should smell nutty and almost like caramel or butterscotch.
• Remove from the heat and carefully transfer the very hot browned butter to a large, heatproof mixing bowl. Add the garlic, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, a few seconds. Add the hot sauce, brown sugar and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until emulsified. Taste and add more salt, pepper and brown sugar as desired.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This is an excellent dipping sauce for French fries, roasted cauliflower and any kind of chicken (grilled, roasted or fried), or slathered between two slices of toasted bread in a deli sandwich.

ORIGINAL HOT BROWN

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour with a whisk or fork, and continue to cook and stir until it begins to brown slightly. Gradually whisk in the milk so that no lumps form, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Mix in 6 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and then stir in the beaten egg to thicken. Do not allow the sauce to boil once the egg has been mixed in. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. For each hot brown, place two slices of toast into the bottom of an individual sized casserole dish. Cover with a liberal amount of roasted turkey and tomato slices. Spoon sauce over the top of each one and sprinkle with some of the remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Place the dishes under the broiler and cook until the top is speckled brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and arrange two slices of bacon in a cross shape on top of each sandwich. Serve immediately.

• Cook butter in a small skillet over medium heat until it foams then browns (be careful not to let it burn), about 5 minutes.
• Quickly transfer butter to a small bowl, scraping in browned solids. Let cool.
• Chill brown butter 10 minutes. Stir to distribute solids. Continue to chill, stirring every 10 minutes, until butter starts to solidify.
