'''Clarified butter''' is a form of [[butter]] which has had the [[milk]] [[solid]]s removed, leaving only the [[liquid]] [[fat]]s. Clarified butter is used in [[cooking]] when the [[flavor]] of butter is desired, but the cooking requires a temperature above that at which milk solids burn. Additionally, since clarified butter does not contain [[lactose]], it can be used for those who are [[lactose intolerant]].<ref>Cooking for Engineers, [http://www.cookingforengineers.com/article/131/Clarified-Butter ''Clarified Butter'']</ref>
Clarified butter is made by slowly [[melt]]ing butter, then skimming the solid from the top.
