Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter.
Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or spatula.
As the butter melts, add the fresh sage leaves to the pan and let them fry gently. Their edges will crisp up as the butter heats.
Continue to cook the butter while stirring frequently. It will start to foam and then transition to a golden-brown color. This process should take 5-7 minutes.
Once the butter has a nutty aroma and visible brown specks appear at the bottom of the pan, reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the pure maple syrup and ground cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly mixed into the butter.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Be careful not to let the butter burn.
If desired, add a pinch of salt to taste, stirring well to incorporate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully strain the butter through a fine mesh sieve to remove the fried sage leaves, or leave them in for garnish if you prefer.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before use.
