Step by Step
01
You need a sufficiently large saucepan or pot, a heat- resistent fine-mesh strainer and a heat-resistant container for storing the clarified butter.
02
Slowly melt the butter at low heat to prevent bubbles from forming.
03
Gradually increase the heat to bring the butter to a slow boil, which separates the milk solids from the fat.
04
Remove the pot from the burner and let stand for a few minutes to let the separated milk solids sink to the bottom
05
Slowly pour the butter through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof container to remove the solids. Take care not to pour the solids from the bottom of the saucepan into the container.
06
Sufficiently clarified butter should have a light golden colour and be completely free of milk solids. Clarified butter can be used immediately or tightly covered and refrigerated for up to ten days.
