Ingredients
- 1 pack of unsalted, organic butter
Step by Step Instructions

Step 1
Chop your butter in chunks and place them in a thick bottomed sauce pan.

Step 2
On a very low flame, allow the butter to begin to melt and slowly simmer. There is no need to stir it.

Step 3
After about 15-20 mins a thin fatty covering will appear on the top and on the bottom. You will also see a thick white layer collecting at the bottom. You can skim off the top solids with a spoon and continue to let it cook slowly.

Step 4
After about 30 mins your ghee should be a clear golden colour, if so it is ready! If there are still solids on the top you can remove them again. Allow it to cool for a while then strain it into a dry, clean jar. Be sure not to include the thick white layer at the bottom. Those are the impurities from the butter and should be thrown away.

Step 5
Let it sit to solidify slowly. You can store your ghee at room temperature.
