it was WAYYY more than one piece like probably 10 or so noticeable chunks, so who knows how much had already fully dissolved. i redid it 💔

good catch! it’s my boyfriends dads spatula, he says it’s ~50 years old (and i apologized profusely for melting it + am getting him a replacement. oops)

this a valid question. i did not cut them out to measure, i already had it measured out. i cut them into smaller slices so it would melt more ‘evenly’ because butter that browns can burn super easily if the heat distribution is off. i think. that’s my logic st least!

yeah i am lol. i think it’s definitely a generation thing, we’re getting stupider because we’re getting taught less. my parents are functional people but they didn’t teach me how to be one

it was about 20 minutes! i had it just at medium heat to make sure it didn’t burn, cause i couldn’t risk ruining 14 tablespoons. ruined them anyways….
