Notes

Scaling recipe up - it will take longer for the water to evaporate after which the foam will subside, fall to the bottom and turn brown. Use a skillet if you can - lower walls = faster evaporation (but don't use one too big, you don't want the butter spread too thin).

Scaling recipe down - use a smaller saucepan otherwise the butter will spread too thinly and will be difficult to monitor.
