German Butterschmalz - Clarified Butter
Ingredients
- 1 pound butter
Instructions
- In a small saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat.

- After a few minutes, the white lacto-proteins will float to the surface.
- Now bring the butter to a boil until it foams up.

- After about 20 min. take the saucepan from the stove and let sit for about 15 min.
- Now pour the butter through a mesh strainer lined with a paper towel or a coffee filter into a heat-proof bowl.
