Clarified butter or ghee

• 250 g/9 oz/1 cup unsalted butter

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Alternatively, put it in a clear microwave container and melt in the microwave.

Remove from the heat and leave to settle, then gently pour off the clear butter into a jug, making sure you leave behind the white fats floating on the top or settled at the bottom.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
