Homemade Ghee
Ghee (also known as clarified butter) is delicious with a nutty flavor and aroma. It’s easy to make at home, perfect for those who are dairy-sensitive and cheaper than what you can buy in the store.
Ingredients
- 1 lb butter unsalted
Instructions
- Heat the butter slabs in a heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat.
- After about 15 minutes, skim the foam that rises to the surface with a spoon or slotted spoon.
- Continue cooking until the milk solids at the bottom of the pan turn deep golden brown like the color of brown sugar, about 5-7 more minutes. It will smell amazing.
- Turn the heat off and let cool 3 minutes.
- Strain, using 2 layers of cheese cloth over a strainer into clean jar or pourable pitcher.
- Pour into a clean, sealable, sanitized jar, and store on the counter, or refrigerate if you prefer.
- Ghee will solidify slightly, especially in the colder months.
Notes
- The recipe makes approximately 2 cups of ghee.
