- Put three tablespoonfuls of butter in a china cup, stand the cup in a little saucepan of boiling water and let the butter quietly melt.
- Pour off the top, leaving the sediment in the bottom.
- Stand the butter aside to harden.
- This may be used over vegetables or meat dishes, as directed.
- Where a restricted diet must be continued for a long time, and melted butter is admissible, it is wise to melt a half pound at a time in the upper part of a double boiler.
- Butter melted in this way is called, in cooking terms, "clarified" butter.
