So, what is clarified cow's butter?

Clarified cow's butter, also known as ghee, is a type of butter that has been melted and simmered until all the water has evaporated, leaving only pure butterfat. This process intensifies the natural nutty and caramel-like flavors of butter, resulting in a rich and aromatic ingredient. Because it has a high smoke point and low moisture content, clarified cow's butter is perfect for high-heat cooking like frying and sautéing without burning or smoking. It's also lactose-free and shelf-stable, making it an excellent alternative to regular butter for those with dairy sensitivities or for keeping on hand for longer periods.
