Recipe for making Ghee (clarified butter)
Butter is great for cooking but small amounts of whey in the butter often burn. Butter also contains lactose and some milk proteins which may bother many people. Ghee on the other hand does not contain any whey, milk protein or lactose at all, just milk fat, and does not burn.

The first time I followed this recipe I could see a separation of the golden fat from the white liquid on the bottom. This time all of it looks gold and there is some foam floating on top. I have yet to pour it into another container. Did I do something wrong?
ReplyDeleteI realize this post is older, but am hoping you might get this comment and be able to answer my question. I am getting ready to make ghee for my dad who I have been helping through the GAPS diet. I can not find a good quality unsalted pastured butter. Is it very important to use unsalted? I would really prefer to stick with pastured butter, but can't decide which one is more important... unsalted or pastured? Thank you!
