Ghee has a wonderful nutty flavor and high smoke point which sets it apart from traditional western clarified butter.- Begin with really tasty, organic non-salted butter
- Place butter in a saucepan over medium low heat.
- Cook for approx. 20-30 mins. Watch the bubbles move through the following steps
- butter melts completely and becomes foamy
- large bubbles form on the sides and move across the top
- bubbles grow larger
- tiny bubbles take over and cover the top
- At this point, check the bottom of the pan frequently to be sure that it does not burn (brown is good, black is not)
- Pour hot butter into mason jar through a strainer with a double layer of cheese cloth
- Store at room temperature out of direct sun
I had no idea it was this simple! I made naan the other day using butter instead of ghee and it definitely did not taste the same.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Jessica! Isn't it amazing how many things there are out there that really aren't that difficult to make? Before making it myself, I had no idea either!
