NOTE: Clarifying butter is a process that separates milk solids from the butterfat, producing a cooking fat with a high smoke point, making it perfect for sauteeing. To clarify butter, melt butter in small saucepan over low heat. Skim off white foam that forms on top, then strain remaining butter through cheesecloth. Discard cheesecloth and milky residue in bottom of pan. Clarified butter can be stored in airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 months.
