6. Make a “Beurre Noisette” an ordinary butter, sweet or salty, which, rising in temperature slowly, dissociates (clarifies): the water evaporates slowly, the lipids accumulate heat, and the casein (the foam of the butter) colors and brings a very special taste to the butter to which the name of hazelnut butter is now given.
