- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, cook the butter over medium heat until brown specs form. (See blog post above for more details).
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the brown butter ,1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, about two minutes.
