Ingredients
Show ingredients
- butter with maximum fat content (preferably homemade) – 1 kg.
Preparation
- Unwrap the package with one kilogram of butter.
- To fit the butter in the pot, cut it into several pieces with a knife.
- Transfer the butter to the pot and place it on the stove. Set the heat to below medium.
- Allow the butter to melt slowly.
- During the heating process, a white foam will appear. To ensure the butter melts completely, stir it.
- After boiling, set the heating temperature to the lowest to keep the butter simmering. The melting process depends on the size of the butter. In our case, the process took one hour. As soon as the mass becomes absolutely transparent with a golden color – this is a sign that the butter is ready. Do not let the protein that settles at the bottom of the pot burn.
- Remove the foam and take the pot off the heat.
- In a clean container, pour the ghee through a sieve and cheesecloth (in several layers). Be careful, it is very hot.
- Leave the container open until the butter cools completely to prevent condensation. After cooling, cover it with a lid.
- Leave it until fully solidified. Ghee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to nine months.
