Ghee Recipe

Posted by Anna Colin on Mar 30, 2009

Want to make your own delicious ghee? Follow this very simple recipe:

1. Cut up organic unsalted butter into smaller chunks and place in a heavy bottom pan to melt.  Over medium heat bring the butter to a boil.  Continue to boil it gently on low heat until white foam begins to rise to the top.  Carefully scoop off the foam and discard.

2. Once the butter begins to quite down and the bubbles floating up from the bottom become minimized watch it carefully.  Small milk solids will begin to fall and stick to the bottom of the pan and can easily burn at this point.  Turn the butter down and wait until there is almost no more bubbles rising.  The colour will be golden yellow and it will begin to smell like caramel. 

3. Take the ghee off the heat and carefully pour into a clean, dry glass jar.  Allow to solidify at room temperature and store covered on your counter.  Because you have removed the milk solids you do not need to refrigerate ghee.  Use it in place of butter or as a great way to add healthy oil to your food.
