Prep
time: 30 min
Yields 2
cups
Dosha:
V, P, K
Ingredients:
1 pound organic cultured unsalted butter
In a heavy saucepan, heat butter
over medium heat. Continue to cook at medium-low heat. The butter will bubble
and make bubbling sounds. When it is almost done, milk solids will collect on
the bottom of the pan. When it is done (15-20 min), it will look clear and
become very quiet.
Quickly, remove it from heat
(before burning), and cool slightly. Pour ghee (the clear golden liquid) though
a metal strainer and/or cheese cloth into a glass container. Store ghee at room temperature.
Recommendations:
Be sure to keep watch of ghee
while cooking. Undercooked ghee tends to mould. Overcooked ghee tends to burn.
A touch of browning can add a nice flavour.
After making this once, you are
likely to do it again and again! Homemade ghee is simple, pure, and
inexpensive!
