Clarified or Drawn Butter

Ingredients

• 1 pound butter, unsalted preferred

Directions

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over moderate heat.

* Skim froth from surface.

* Carefully pour off clear melted butter into another container, leaving milky water at bottom of saucepan.

Makes 12 to 13 ounces clarified butter.

Butter consists of butterfat, water and milk solids. Clarified butter is purified butterfat, with water and milk solids removed.

Clarified butter is used in sautéeing, broiling and other applications because the milk solids of unclarified butter would burn at such high temperatures.
