Making Ghee Butter-Good for Longer-term
Storage
Ghee
is butter that has been processed to remove the milk solids. It’s basically
butter oil.
Ghee can be a way
for those with a slight dairy
sensitivity to enjoy the flavors of butter. The casein and whey proteins that
cause a sensitivity are removed with the milk solids.
You
know how butter tends to burn when you cook with too high of a heat? That’s
because the milk solids overcook easily. When you remove those, the smoking
point of butter goes way up: from about 350 degrees to 450 degrees or more.
Start with the highest quality butter you can. Salted or
unsalted will work, though some insist that the best ghee is made with unsalted
butter.
Put the butter in a saucepan. It will melt faster if you cut
it up a bit first. Turn the heat to medium-low.
After the butter melts, it will start to bubble and separate.
This has probably happened to you when you’ve melted butter for a recipe and
forgot it on the stove for a bit. It’s just the whey from the butter floating
to the surface.
Skim the whey off. You can either compost it, feed it to your
animals, or (if you aren’t sensitive to dairy) save it and put it in mashed
potatoes!
Continue to cook the butter until it turns clear and the milk
solids sink to the bottom. You can stop at this point: you’ve made clarified
butter!
Or you can continue to cook your butter to make ghee. You
want to brown (not burn!) the milk solids on the bottom of the pan. This will
give your ghee a nutty, butterscotch flavor.
Let
the ghee cool a bit and strain through cheesecloth, butter muslin, a paper
towel, a coffee filter, or a clean tea towel. This ensures that you remove the
last bits of the milk proteins.
