Clarified Butter
Clarified butter is just the oily part of butter, without the buttermilk.
You can buy it ready prepared in ethnic stores under the name ghee. If you have a microwave, put the butter in a plastic jug and microwave on a high heat for 1 minute. If it is not completely melted, give it another 30 seconds. Do not allow it to boil. Continue as described below, discarding the watery buttermilk.
