Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 5
Ingredients
- 4 lbs (16 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 to 3 tbsp water
Instructions
-
Place butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat.
-
Let the butter melt, stirring it occasionally.
-
Once the melted butter is boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and let simmer. You will notice a white foam forming.
-
Keep stirring from time to time so that the butter will cook evenly.
-
Once the color of the melted butter starts to change from yellow to golden brown and you notice a brown milk solid condensate at the bottom of the pan, at this step the ghee is ready.
-
Sprinkle the water to obtain a ghee with a grainy texture. Let boil for about 2 minutes.
-
Strain the ghee immediately using a mesh strainer.
-
Let cool and store in airtight container.
Recipe Notes
ย Notice that the ghee will solidify in a couple of hours.
