The Best Homemade Organic Ghee
I learned how to make this ghee during clinicals and before that I was spending so much money on organic ghee products. This recipe will save you tons of money without losing quality. It's super delicious on toast, in oatmeal, sauteing, baking, you name it! Ghee is an excellent healthy substitute for butter.
Equipment
- 1 stainless steel pot
- 1 sieve
- 1 piece of cheesecloth
- 1 spoon optional
- 1 tin or glass jar
Ingredients
- 4 sticks unsalted organic butter
Instructions
- Roughly cut the butter into cubs.
- Add the butter to the stainless steel pot and turn on medium high eat.
- No need to stir. It will not burn. Let butter melt and foam up.
- At this point the butter will start to sputter and bubble loudly. Don't be alarmed. This is the water evaporating form the butter. Still no need to stir.
- Cook the butter until all of the foam (or water) has evaporated. I use the spoon to lightly push the foam around but it isn't necessary. The butter will be clear and bubbly.
- Continue cooking the butter until the milk solids start to burn to the bottom of the pan. Tilt the pan every so often to make sure they are sticking to the bottom. (Refer to photo)
- Take off the heat once you have a good layer of milk solids burnt to the bottom of the pan. Transfer to your preferred tin using the sieve and cheesecloth to filter the left over milk solids.
- Let the ghee cool completely before moving. It is VERY hot! Enjoy your beautiful and delicious homemade organic ghee :)
