- Heat butter in a sauce pan at medium low heat. DO NOT STIR.
- Once it has completely melted, let rest a few minutes
– During this time the solids will precipitate to the bottom of the liquid - Skim off any foam that has formed on top.
- You now have clarified butter
- Keep cooking until the solids in the bottom begin to turn brown
- You now have ghee
- Carefully pour off the ghee, leaving the solids behind.
- Ideally, pour it through cheesecloth for even cleaner ghee
This will give a cleaner taste to whatever you are cooking. It is also less likely to burn. Just a dash of EVOO will also help inhibit burning. If you are a purist, pour the butter through cheesecloth.
