How To Make Clarified Butter (Ghee)
Report
A clear, pure form of butter with a nutty and rich taste that simply cannot be duplicated. Better known as Ghee
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 pounds unsalted butter
- 1 cup coarse wheat (like bulgur)
Instructions
- Unwrap the butter.
- Put butter in heavy pan and place on high
- High heat until it all melts. Watch carefully.
- Turn heat to low and add 1 cup coarse wheat. Stir every now and then to keep the foam moving to the bottom to be absorbed by the wheat.IMPORTANT: Keep the heat low. Do not let it boil or burn the wheat. You want it to “smile” not bubble. This step takes 4 or 5 hours and pretty much takes care of itself if the temp is right. Just check in and give it a stir every hour or so.
- Eventually it will look like this. All of the gunk is at the bottom of the pan and the pure butter is on top. It is ready to be put in jars.
- Use a gallon pitcher with a strainer lined with 4 thickness of “butter” cheesecloth. Make sure you get butter cloth because it is much finer gauge than regular grocery store cloth. I buy it online from cheese making sites. It lasts forever.Use a big ladle or cup and dip and pour through the strainer into the pitcher.
- When the pitcher is full, pour the butter into canning jars
- Let it cool before you put the caps on
- Voila! All done. Store in the basement where it is cool.No need to refrigerate.
