melted butter
Warm golden drizzle
Melted butter is butter that has been heated until it liquefies.
It's used for dipping seafood, drizzling over popcorn or vegetables, and in baking where solid butter won't incorporate smoothly.
Brush the pastry with melted butter before baking.
Unlike clarified butter, melted butter retains its milk solids.
