1 cup * Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter

Steps:

Melt butter in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, without stirring, 10-15 minutes or until melted and solids separate from fat.
Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Skim off foam. Slowly pour off clear yellow liquid, leaving behind the residue of milk solids that has settled to bottom of pan. Cover; store refrigerated.
Use clarified butter for frying and sautéing. Use it in place of oil; it works the same, but adds a great buttery flavor.
