Making clarified butter


Making clarified butter is easy but a little tricky. To make a Quart of Ghee (clarified butter) but 2 lbs of unsalted butter in a 2 quart sauce pan and turn the heat on low. The butter will melt and start to make hissing / bubbling sounds. After about 30 to 40 minutes foam will appear on the top of the butter, then it will collect on the bottom of the pan and start sticking. The butter will become clear/translucent and that is when you know it is done, plus you will smell the wonderful aroma of Ghee. I just pour this liquid into a jar and keep it at room temperature ready to use!
