How do you clarify butter?

Answer:
Clarified butter is butter that has had the milk solids and water removed

Melt the butter over very low heat in a saucepan, slowly. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour the butter off of the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom. One stick (8 tablespoons) of butter will produce about 6 tablespoons of clarified butter.
