How do you clarify butter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Clarified butter is butter that has had the milk solids and water removed

Melt the butter over very low heat in a saucepan, slowly. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour the butter off of the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom. One stick (8 tablespoons) of butter will produce about 6 tablespoons of clarified butter.

What is ghee?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Take butter slowly melt, remove from heat let the milk solids separate ( sink to the bottom of the pan) from the golden liquid on the surface. This is ghee or clarified butter. Ghee can be stored at room temperature once you have separated the milk solids from the golden liquid. Use like oil in any dish.

Take it a step further by simmering it until all of the moisture evaporates and the milk solids begin to brown, giving the resulting butter a nutty, caramel like flavor and aroma, is called brown butter.
