Clarified Butter (How To Clarify Butter) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

unsalted butter
cheesecloth

Preparation

Cut the butter into 1-inch pieces.
Heat the butter over low heat in a copper bottomed saucepan.
When butter has melted, remove it from the heat and let stand for 4 minutes.
Careful not to disturb the layers of melted butter, pour all of it through two layers of cheesecloth; discard the solids and froth that are left on the cloth.
The remaining butter is clarified!
Keep chilled until use; clarified butter can be stored in the refrigerator, staying chilled in an airtight container, for up to a month.
