Butter clarifying mixing mistake
During the making of clarified butter, I mistakenly mixed the oil and protiens in the pot with a wooden spoon. So I have an emulsion now. I was thinking, that the oil and the rest will separate anyway, but it is not the case, it is just an emulsion.
Is there a way, how to still separate the oil and the rest, so I can grab the oil and have clarified butter?
Best Answer
Try straining it out through a fine mesh strainer.

How do you fix clarified butter?
When you clarify butter, you remove all the milk solids and water, but are left with the butterfat. This creates a higher smoke point, which makes clarified butter ideal for cooking and saut\xe9ing. The process is simple; it just takes a little time because of the low cooking temperature.What happens when you clarify butter?
When butter is heated, it melts. When butter is heated these three components split apart from one another and settle into different layers. At the bottom of the heating vessel you will have a white cloudy substance; this substance is actually the milk solids and water.Why is my clarified butter cloudy?

Answer 2
The two comments above are correct in a certain way and incorrect in another way. This happened to me 2 nights ago. I made a desert that needed 4 cups of clarified butter for a specific desert. I forgot what I was doing and last night when I got to making it I stirred it up after taking off the foam off the top, then saw the the white milky part and more junk. I decided to reheat that one and start another one "just in case". After melting, cooling and I thought everything was ready, boy was I wrong. By the way, I was taught you do this on a low heat not fast and furious. So after hours, the one that was messed up was still messed up and the "new one" was perfect" and I treated as such. My desert came out perfect with those 4 cups of clarified butter. The bad one I clean up some more, got some more milky stuff off and more foam and used it for another one of my other deserts. It turned out great. JUST AS A NOTE. CLARIFIED BUTTER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PUT IN THE FRIDGE, IT CAN STAY OUT AND IT DOES NOT BURN. MY ENTIRE LIFE MOST OF MY FAMILY HAVE USED THIS BUT... IT NEEDS TO BE GOOD QUALITY BUTTER, SWEET, UNSALTED BUTTER.
