Elevate your cooking with clarified butter, the liquid gold that provides a higher smoke point and nutty flavor for sautéing, frying, and baking. This simple technique removes milk solids, creating a pure butterfat that won't burn at high temperatures while intensifying butter's natural richness. Perfect for Indian cuisine, hollandaise sauce, or simply dipping seafood, this versatile ingredient keeps for weeks in the refrigerator for culinary adventures.

Ingredients
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
Directions

  1. In a small pot, melt butter over low heat until bubbling and foaming subsides. Remove from heat, let cool slightly (don’t let butter re-solidify), then skim any foam off the top.

  2. Line a sieve with cheesecloth or a clean dish towel and place over a heat-safe bowl or container. Leaving the white milk solids at the bottom of the pot, carefully pour or spoon yellow butter fat through the sieve and into the container. Let cool completely before refrigerating for up to 1 month.
