Ingredients
- 2 cups butter
Instructions
Melt 2 cups (4 sticks) of butter in a heavy-bottomed pot. You can use more or less butter depending on how much ghee you want to make. Stir to prevent burning.
When the butter has melted, lower the heat to just the point of a steady rolling boil. Simmer until the milk solids have dropped to the bottom and are a nutty brown color. The water should also be completely boiled off. It should take about 20-30 minutes.
Allow to cool and settle for at least a few minutes. Pour into a jar, leaving the milk solids behind. It is easiest to do this by catching any milk solids with a sieve.
