Clarified Butter
Clarified butter is butter that has been melted and separated from the milk solids and water, leaving behind pure butterfat. It has a higher smoke point and a rich, nutty flavor.
Notes
Clarified butter is ideal for high-heat cooking methods as it doesn't burn as easily as regular butter. It also has a longer shelf life due to the removal of milk solids.
