Clarified Butter (Ghee)
Makes 3/4 cup

Those who are unable to tolerate milk protein in even the smallest amounts will want to clarify their butter, which is a process of removing the small amount of milk protein or casein contained in butter fat.

Ingredients:
1 cup (1/2 pound) butter
cheese cloth for straining
Instructions:
Place butter in a small bowl in an oven set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 1/2 hour.
The butter will melt and foam will rise to the top and form a crust. Carefully skin off the foam.
To remove every trace of milk solids, pour the butter through a strainer lined with cheese cloth.
Store in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator.
Use clarified butter for cooking and eating.
