\"ghee\"<\/p>\n

To me, ghee (a type of clarified butter) is evidence of milk\u2019s greatness. The complete process goes like this: Start with grass and a mammal. Milk the mammal. Separate cream from milk. Churn cream into butter. Cook butter (to burn off the last of the water trapped inside). Strain to remove solids, and now you have golden light-catching ghee. Use in place of butter<\/a> (a higher smoke point means you can fry without fear) or anywhere you\u2019d like nutty, browned butter flavor.<\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t typically milk a cow and churn fresh cream for ghee, I do like to start with fresh butter from pastured cows. Once made, ghee is often stored at room temperature, but I find the surface often molds after several weeks. It hardens when refrigerated but easily returns to liquid when warmed.<\/p>\n

One perk of ghee-making is the unusual by-product you\u2019re left with: toasted milk solids. As the ghee cooks, a sediment and a crust develop. They\u2019re both made of toasted milk solids, which flavor the ghee. If they get too dark, the final product will take on an unpleasant burnt flavor (that\u2019s why I cook ghee in the oven, where the heat is more even, rather than on the stove). But when they\u2019re toasted to a nut-brown hue, they\u2019re tangy and have a texture akin to unsweetened shortbread cookie bits. I like to toss them on top of a berry crumble or into a bowl of spicy curry. You\u2019ll see that, like ghee, their addition is quite welcome in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

Ghee<\/h2>\n

Makes 2 to 2\u00bc cups<\/p>\n

EQUIPMENT<\/h3>\n

Medium oven-safe pot (such as a Dutch oven)
\n12-inch square butter muslin or flour sack dishcloth
\nGlass jars with lids (enough to store 2 to 2\u00bc cups ghee)<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/h2>\n

2 pounds unsalted organic butter<\/p>\n

\"ghee\"<\/a>
\nHeat oven to 170\u00b0F. Put butter in the pot. Cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 hours without stirring. While butter cooks, foam will gather on its surface.<\/p>\n

\"ghee\"<\/a>
\nOver time, the foam will dry out and form a toasty crust on top of the butter. When the toasted top is medium brown, the ghee is done. Use a spoon to bring up sediment from the bottom of the pot to confirm that it, too, is medium brown.<\/p>\n

\"ghee\"<\/a>
\nSkim off and reserve toasted solids. Line colander with butter muslin and place over a bowl. Pour ghee through a lined colander. Liquid ghee collected in a bowl should be clear, yellow, and bright. If there is too much sediment, strain again.<\/p>\n

\"ghee\"<\/a>
\nTransfer ghee to jars, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 months.<\/p>\n

More Ways To Go Gaga For Ghee<\/h3>\n

Drizzle over popcorn and top with nutritional yeast.
\nDip lobster claws or steamed clams into a ramekin of ghee.
\nSmother warm rice with ghee and garnish with sesame seeds.
\nToss vegetables (like cauliflower, potatoes, and squash) with ghee and roast.
\nUse for fried dough (top with powdered sugar).<\/i><\/p>\n
