Method
- Cut the butter into small pieces;
- place the butter in the top of a double boiler and let it melt over low heat without stirring: the whey will separate and sink to the bottom while the impurities will float to the surface.

- Carefully skim the whitish scum from the surface.
- Pour off the clarified butter and discard the milky liquid remaining in the bottom of the pan.
