Hi Cristina, it sounds like you've been making clarified butter (or ghee), which is when butter is melted until the milk solids separate and then they're strained out of the mixture. With brown butter, usually these caramelized milk solids are left in the mixture for flavor. Feel free to use whichever approach you prefer knowing that traditional brown butter includes these bits. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
