Butter

Butter is a solid fat made from churning milk or cream. Unsalted butter is preferred over salted butter because it permits greater leeway in seasoning recipes to taste. Clarified unsalted butter has had the milk solids and water removed and can be used for cooking at high baking temperatures. Butter will keep, well wrapped, for 1 month in the refrigerator or for up to 6 months in the freezer.
