Simplify Making Perfect Clarified Butter (Ghee)

Clarifying butter is simple and enhances flavor.

1. Melt 1 pound unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Skim off any foam that rises to the top with a spoon as it melts.
3. Continue heating until the milk solids settle at the bottom of the pan and the liquid is clear (about 20-30 minutes).
4. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container, discarding the solids.

Pro tip: Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
