225 Club Recipes: BROWN BUTTER CORN SYRUP

BROWN BUTTER CORN syrup

Use this recipe to make the Old Fashioned using Release No.3, Bottled in Bond Corn Whiskey. This beautifully weird syrup ups the level on the flavors already present in the spirit. It compliments the vanilla and spice that the white spirit acquires while aging in the barrel. Use it in any spirit forward barrel aged spirit cocktail.

INGREDIENTS:

for initial step

• 500g cooked corn cut from the cob

• 200g of the reserved water from boiling the corn

• 200g of sugar

• 100g of butter

• 25g of salt

for second step

• 250g corn water

• 500g sugar

DIRECTIONS:

FIRST STEP

Boil the corn on the cob for 3-5 minutes. Set corn aside.

Reserve all cooking liquid from the corn. Weigh out 200g of the corn water. Dissolve 200g of sugar in to the corn water to make a 1:1 simple syrup.

Add butter to sauce pan on medium heat and whisk until melted. Keep whisking as butter foams up and starts to brown, once it smells nutty and just has started to brown, remove from heat and transfer to a heat safe dish so it stops cooking.

Add corn and the simple syrup to a blender. Blend corn and simple together. Slowly add butter while blending. Blend until very smooth and strain through a fine mesh strainer.

SECOND STEP

Combine the corn water and sugar in a small pan over heat to dissolve sugar for a 2:1 simple.
Combine/blend with strained corn purée from part 1.

Store in fridge.
