Don't want to use the pork fat called
for in this recipe? Try clarified butter instead. Place 1/2 lb. butter in a pan
and melt over low heat. Do not stir and you will see the butter begin to
separate.
Once the butter has separated into three layers, foamy milk solids on top,
clarified butter in the middle, and milk solids on the bottom. Turn off the
heat. Skim the foamy white solids from the top. Then ladle off the clarified
butter. Be careful not to disturb the milk solids at the bottom of the pan.
Refrigerate any clarified butter you don't use. This is also how you do the
drawn butter for lobster. |
