INGREDIENTS
- 2 sticks Unsalted butter ; cut into 1 inch pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring butter to a boil over moderate heat in a 1 to 2 quart heavy saucepan. Once foam completely covers butter, reduce heat to very low. Continue to cook butter, stirring occasionally, until a thin crust begins to form on surface and milky white solids fall to bottom of pan, about 8 minutes. Continue to cook butter, watching constantly and stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until solids turn light brown and butter deepens to golden and turns translucent and fragrant, 16 to 18 minutes.
2. Remove ghee from heat and pour through a sieve lined with a triple layer of cheesecloth into a jar.
NOTES
You will need cheesecloth for this to pull all the impurities.
Ghee keeps covered and chilled 2 months
