Use a very good quality unsalted butter. Cut it into cubes and heat in a heavy-duty saucepan over low heat until it is all melted. Let this simmer gently until the foam rises to the top of the melted butter. Be careful, as it may spatter as it heats.

Once the butter stops sputtering and no more foam seems to be rising, skim off the foam. You can use this for cooking later if you want. Don't worry about getting every little bit of foam because the next step is to strain the butter.


Line a mesh strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth and hold over a heat-resistant container. Pour the melted butter through the cloth and you've got your clarified butter. It will keep for 3-6 months if you refrigerate it.

Are ghee and clarified butter the same?

If you ask, are Ghee and clarified butter the same, the answer will be no, because they are produced using slightly different methods. Clarified butter is made by melting unsalted butter, which causes the milk solids to separate from the liquid butterfat. The solids are then removed, leaving the liquid butterfat, which is the clarified butter. Ghee, on the other hand, is made by simmering butter until the milk solids are golden brown and then straining them out. This process gives the ghee a nutty, caramelized flavor, which is different from the taste of clarified butter. Ghee also has a higher smoke point than clarified butter, which means it can be used at higher temperatures for cooking without burning. In summary, ghee is made from clarified butter and further cooked till the golden brown and nutty flavor and it has a higher smoke point.

Why is clarified butter preferred for making roux?

clarified butter is essentially butter that has the milk solids taken out of it, we do this because it has a higher heat resistence therefore not burning. so, you can use plain butter for making a lighter roux, but if you are going to make a dark roux, the UNclarified butter will burn before you reach the color that you want. overall, i prefer clarified butter for almost everything because you run less risk of burning your food! hope this helped! cheers!
