US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn golden brown. Turn off the heat and carefully add the sage leaves (they will sputter a little). Add the lemon juice, tilt the pan to swirl the lemon juice and butter together, and set aside to cool slightly or until needed. (Yup. You're done. It's that simple.)
