Homemade Ghee
Ingredients
-
1 or 2
pounds
unsalted butter
Instructions
- Cut the butter into roughly one-inch squares.
- Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring gently from time to time.
- Watch for a thick, white foam to form at the surface.
- Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Let the butter simmer for about 5 minutes without stirring.
- Observe the foam becoming thinner and the bubbles increasing in size.
- Scrape the sides of the pan occasionally to help milk solids sink.
- As the milk solids sink, the butter will become clearer and more translucent.
- Watch for the butter to take on a golden color as the solids brown.
- When the butter foams for a second time, remove it from the heat.
- Let the foam settle for a few seconds.
- Line a sieve with cheesecloth and pour the ghee into a bowl or jar.
- Discard the milk solids left in the sieve.
- Cover the jars loosely and let the ghee set at room temperature.
