Video: How to Make Clarified Butter

Eating lobster? Maybe just want some extra butter flavoring in your next high-heat dish? Clarified butter is a great answer. Making clarified butter is super easy and will even make the butter last longer, add more butter flavor to your next dish, have a higher smoke point (so you can use it in more dishes instead of it burning), and is great just by itself or pretty much anything.

Here’s how to make it.

1. Put two sticks of butter in a pot on the stove.
2. Set the stove to low heat.
3. Let the butter simmer until the milk fats rise to the top.
4. With a spoon or ladle, remove the milk fats from the top.
5. Save the butter and milk fats.
