Healthy Faux Drawn Butter Food

DRAWN BUTTER FOR STEAMED LOBSTER, CRABS, OR CLAMS

Steps:

• Place the butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute.
• Set the saucepan aside and let the butter settle, undisturbed. The milk solids will come to the top of the butter and the watery whey will collect on the bottom. Skim off the milk solids with a spoon and pour the drawn butter into a serving bowl or several small ramekins, taking care not include the watery liquid in the bottom of the pan. Serve.

DRAWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat until butter foams and solids sink to bottom, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool.
• Carefully skim foam from top, and discard. Pour clear butter into a bowl, leaving any solids in pan; discard solids. (Drawn butter can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.) Serve warm.

DRAWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, 5 to 7 minutes. Set the melted butter aside to cool slightly, then skim the foam off the top and discard. Allow the butter to solidify overnight. Drain off any liquid that collects at the bottom. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, and pour into individual bowls before serving.

HOW TO MAKE DRAWN BUTTER (EASY & DELICIOUS WITH SEAFOOD!)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt butter on medium-low heat.
• Once melted, you should notice a foamy white layer on top of the butter mixture. This is the butter's milk solids. Use a heat-proof spoon to skim off and discard the foam.
• When most of the foam has been removed, turn off the heat and remove the saucepan away from hot burner. At this point, the butter left over in the pan should look golden and not foamy - this is the butterfat.
• Line a wire mesh strainer with cheesecloth, or a large coffee filter. Place the strainer over a large bowl. Carefully pour the butterfat through the strainer. You might discover more milk solids as you get to the bottom of the butter mixture. Leave the milk solids in the pan and don't pour it through the strainer.
• Pour the drawn butter (aka clarified butter) into an air-tight jar to use for later, or pour into a dipping bowl if serving immediately. Just before serving, squeeze some lemon juice and pair with freshly steamed seafood (especially crabs and lobster tail!)
