Ghee is a traditional clarified butter used in Indian cooking and is known for its rich flavor and high smoke point.
Ingredients
- ●1 lb unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1Place the unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- 2Heat the butter over medium heat until it melts completely.
- 3Once melted, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently.
- 4As the butter simmers, it will begin to foam. This is the water evaporating.
- 5Continue to cook the butter until the foam subsides and the milk solids start to settle at the bottom.
- 6Keep an eye on the color of the milk solids; they should turn golden brown but not burn.
- 7Once the ghee is clear and the milk solids are browned, remove the saucepan from heat.
- 8Let the ghee cool slightly, then strain it through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a clean jar.
- 9Discard the milk solids left in the strainer.
