Clarified Butter

Clarified Butter

Fat Good year-round
Used in 6 of 203 cuisines (3%)

Butter that has been gently melted and had its milk solids and water removed, leaving pure golden butterfat. Without the milk solids that scorch, it has a much higher smoke point and keeps far longer, while retaining a clean, nutty butter flavour. It is used for high-heat searing and as the warm fat that finishes delicate sauces.

Where it comes from

Butter rendered free of its milk solids and water, used wherever a high smoke point and pure butterfat are wanted.

In the kitchen

Used for high-heat frying and searing, and to enrich and finish sauces.
