Ghee

Ghee is an ingredient used in many Middle Eastern dishes. It is also called clarified butter. Ghee can be quite expensive in the stores, making it in your own kitchen is easy and cheaper. You can store ghee in an airtight container on a pantry shelf.

1 lb butter

Using a medium saucepan, heat butter on medium heat.

Allow butter to melt and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. You will notice that the oil will separate itself. The top will begin to froth, remove froth.

Allow the oil to become clear. Once clear, remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

After cooling, strain ghee through a very fine strainer (or through 3-5 layers of cheesecloth) into a container or mason jar.

Put lid on container and store on shelf.
