Homemade Ghee

Ghee is a lovely tasting more or less dairy free butter, it is a very versatile healthy fat. It can be used as a cooking fat at high temperatures without smoking and used for a lovely flavor with some sweet treats.

Ingredients:

1kg Organic Butter

Method:

Cut the butter into cubes and place in a large saucepan. Heat the butter over medium heat until completely melted. Reduce to a simmer.

Cook for about 10-15 minutes (this will vary based on how hot your stove is). During this time, the butter will go through several stages. It will foam, then bubble, then seem to almost stop bubbling and then foam again. When the second foam occurs, the ghee is done.

At this point, the melted butter should be bright gold in color and there should be reddish brown pieces of milk solids at the bottom of the pan. Let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes and then slowly pour through the wire mesh strainer lined with several layers of cheesecloth.
