🍳 Instructions:
Melt the Butter
Place the butter in a saucepan or microwave-safe container and heat it gently until fully melted. Avoid stirring.

Let It Sit
Once melted, let it sit for a few minutes. You’ll see three layers forming:

Foamy milk solids on top

Clear golden butterfat in the middle

White milky whey at the bottom

Skim and Separate
Use a spoon to gently skim off the foamy top layer. Then, pour or ladle the clear yellow layer (the clarified butter) into a clean container, leaving the cloudy layer behind.

Store Properly
Store your clarified butter in a sealed jar in the fridge. It can last for weeks!

🧄 Pro Tip:
If you’re making something like garlic butter noodles, clarified butter helps the garlic shine without the competing taste of browned milk solids.

🔥 Benefits of Clarified Butter:
✅ Higher smoke point (~485°F / 250°C)
