Ingredients

Clarified Butter

  • 1 cup (250 g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes (see notes)

Instructions
 

Clarified Butter

  • Add your cubed butter into a large pot (silver is best), then on medium-low heat allow it to melt completely.
  • Let it simmer for 10 minutes. At about 5 minutes it will froth, it will go a couple minutes later. When you get little golden bits at the bottom (the milk solids), it’s done!
  • To finish, place a paper towel on top of a fine mesh sieve and slowly pour the melted butter into a heat proof jar or bowl Allow to cool before placing a lid on top and storing in your pantry for 3 weeks or in the fridge for up to a year!

Notes

Butter - It’s the only ingredient you need! Couple things, make sure it’s good quality (strong flavor), make sure it’s unsalted that way you can control the salt content in your recipes and make sure it’s cubed! Cut into 2-inch cubes.
If making more or less - the recipe will take longer to get to the end result: golden bits at the bottom, if making less, it will be a quicker recipe. Just keep a close eye on it so those milk solids don’t burn!
Storage - clarified can be stored in a jar with a lid for up to three weeks in your cupboard in a cool dark place or in the fridge for up to a year!
Nutrition - Let's be honest, nobody is eating butter for its nutritional value. But the nutritional value shown in this recipe card is per 1 cup (250ml)
A note on measurements - all ingredients in this recipe are offered in Australian cup measurements and weight measurements.
