brown butter brown sugar shorties

Browning butter is a magical thing. Tinkerbell, romance and Houdini kind of magic. The kind that sends goose-pimples down your spine or in this case, your throat. Browning pushes the butter into this nutty, caramelized, sugary world. It's just fantastic. So whenever I see the words paired together in a recipe, I pounce. Like a panther, attacking her buttery prey.

Here's the recipe I recently found. Go to there!
