CARAMELIZED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIES TREATS



Caramelized Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats image

This absurdly easy recipe came to The Times from Colin Alevras, then the chef at the Tasting Room in New York, which, until it closed in 2008, offered Rice Krispies treats every day, and made more for Halloween. Browning the butter elevates these plebeian snacks into something more toothsome, and it adds just an extra couple of minutes to the process. They're so good. (The original recipe called for one bag of marshmallows, but after retesting, we've updated it to call for two bags. This should yield a chewier, gooier treat.)

Time 15m

Yield 30 to 50 treats

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces butter, salted or unsalted, preferably cultured, plus extra for pan
2 10 1/2-ounce bag marshmallows (see note)
1 12-ounce box Rice Krispies cereal

Steps:

  • Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper, or butter it well.
  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Watch closely and stir often.
  • When butter is evenly browned, stir in marshmallows. (If using unsalted butter, stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt.) Melt and cook, stirring often, until mixture turns pale brown, then stir constantly until lightly browned but not dark, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, add cereal, and mix well, preferably with a silicone spoon or a spatula. Scrape into prepared pan and press down lightly. If necessary, butter hands to press mixture flat. Let cool, and cut into squares or bars.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups long grain white rice
½ cup butter
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the chicken broth and rice in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • During the last 5 minutes of the rice, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it browns and the foam starts to clear. It will be a dark brown, similar to chocolate.
  • After the rice has simmered for the 15 minutes, remove it from the heat. Pour the burnt butter over it, being careful not to spatter. Do not stir into the rice. Replace the lid, and let stand for 15 minutes. Stir and season with salt to taste before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use the right amount of water: The ratio of water to rice is important for getting the right consistency. For this recipe, the ratio is 1 cup of rice to 1 ¾ cups of water.
  • Don't stir the rice while it's cooking: Stirring the rice will release the starch and make it gummy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the liquid and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Burnt butter rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The key to making perfect burnt butter rice is to use a heavy-bottomed pot, rinse the rice before cooking, use the right amount of water, and don't stir the rice while it's cooking. With these tips, you'll be able to make perfect burnt butter rice every time.
