So, what is butterschmalz?

Butterschmalz is a German term that refers to clarified butter or ghee. It's made by heating butter until the water content evaporates, leaving behind pure butterfat. Butterschmalz has a rich, nutty flavor and a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying and sautéing. It also has a longer shelf life than regular butter, as the removal of water prevents spoilage. This ingredient is commonly used in traditional German and Austrian cuisine, but it's gaining popularity worldwide due to its unique flavor and versatility in cooking.
