Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Melt butter in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, 5 to 7 minutes. Set melted butter aside to cool slightly, then skim foam off the top and discard. Allow butter to solidify, 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Drain off any liquid that is collected at the bottom. Transfer butter to a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl and microwave until melted. Pour into individual bowls to serve.
