Method

  • 1.Place the butter blocks whole into a medium non-stick pan. Melt at a very low heat.
  • 2. When completely melted, raise heat very slightly. Ensure it does not smoke or burn, but don't stir. Leave to cook for about 1 hour. The impurities will sink to the bottom and float on the top. Carefully skim any...off the top with a slotted spoon, but don't touch the bottom.
  • 3. Turn off the heat and allow the ghee to cool a little. Then strain it through kitchen paper or muslin into an airtight storage jar. When it cools it solidifies, although it is quite soft. It should be a bright pale lemon colour and it smells life toffee. If it has burned it will be darker and smell different. Providing it is not too burned it can still be used.
