Clarified Butter.-Put the butter in

the bottom of the stewpan. Butter
thus purified will be as sweet as mar

meats. etc. and for frying fish, equal
to the finest Florence oil.
Burnt Butter.-Put two ounces of
fresh butter into small frying pan.
When 1t becomes a dark brown color

and salt.
Oiled Butter.-Put two ounces of
