How to Make Clarified Butter

Clarified butter has a higher smoke point than regular butter, making it perfect for high-heat cooking and grilling. It's worth the extra time to get this recipe right for the hot honey butter!

First, grab your unsalted butter — you'll want about four sticks. Melt the blocks of butter slowly over direct heat (low setting) in a small saucepan. The goal is to let the butter melt gradually and completely without boiling it. As it melts, you’ll notice the milk solids start to separate from the butter "oil". Pour the liquified butter into a clear glass container and let cool for two minutes. As it cools, the milk solids will sink to the bottom of the jar.

Pour the top portion of the butter into a new jar. That is the golden, pure yellow portion of the butter, aka the clarified butter. Try to keep any of the white, milk solids from getting poured into the new jar. That's all there is to it! Now, you have your very own clarified butter.
