Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the drawn butter recipe.
Melt the butter gently in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, allowing it to melt slowly for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the melted butter from heat and let it cool slightly. Skim off any foam or impurities from the surface and discard. Allow the butter to solidify completely, which may take 8 hours or overnight.
Carefully drain off any liquid or whey that has collected at the bottom of the solidified butter. Transfer the clarified butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until just melted. Pour the warm drawn butter into individual serving bowls and serve immediately.
