Step 1: Melt the butter

Melt regular butter over low heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Be careful not to burn the butter.

Step 2: Separate Protein and Water from Fat

As the butter melts, you will notice that the milk proteins will start to separate and form a foam on the surface. Gently remove the foam with a spoon. The water will evaporate during cooking. After removing the foam and evaporating the water, we get clarified butter.

Step 3: Filter the Clarified Butter

Step 4: Store Clarified Butter

After removing the foam, evaporating the water and filtering through cheesecloth, pour the butter into a clean jar and tightly close the jar. Store in a cool, dark place.
