How to use
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
Instructions
- Put unsalted butter (cultured butter preferably) in a pot, melt on very low.
- Even when it boils and white foam (protein/impurities) floats on the surface, keep boiling quietly without stirring.
- When the popping sound of moisture evaporating stops, sediments turn pale brown, and liquid turns clear golden, remove from heat. Strain through fine sieve/cloth, store in a clean jar.
