Ingredients
  

  • 750 g Butter Salted or Unsalted

Instructions
 

  • Place the butter into a heavy bottomed pot on medium low heat and allow to melt. The ghee will begin to foam. Allow the butter to come to a gentle boil for 10 - 15 minutes.

  • Simmer undisturbed over very low heat for 25 minutes up to 45 minutes until the milk solids that settle on the bottom of the saucepan turn golden brown.
  • Cool the ghee for 15 minutess and line a sieve with cheese cloths or muslin. Strain the ghee with the lined sieve into a pouring jug/jar.
  • Store the ghee in a sealed jar. Cool and store the jar at room temperature. Ghee will remain fresh at room temperature for several weeks when sealed properly and last months in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • There is no need to skim the foam from the top when making Ghee, That is usually done when making Clarified Butter.
  • Leave the butter to simmer gently for 25 - 45 minutes.
  • Make sure you allow the Ghee to cool for 15 minutes before sieving. 
  • If possible, use a good creamy Organic butter.
  • The Calories mentioned here are for 1 tablespoon.
