Melt the 1/2 cup butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the foam subsides and the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Watch closely, as the butter can go from browned to burned quickly. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl.
