CLARIFIED BUTTER OR "GHEE"
ghee is wonderful for baking, frying, even taking straight for ayurvedic medicine. all the good fat is there without the proteinaceous impurities of butter. if you are a vata type like me, eating ghee often is enjoyable and healthful!

Steps:
- set saucepan on stove on medium-low setting.
- put butter in pan.
- once butter is melted, turn setting up to medium.
- butter will crackle and bubble and foam and make a lovely smell for about 20 minutes.
- once foam begins to clear and smell becomes more"roasted", promptly take pan off stove.
- filter butter through a tea or coffee filter to remove impurities (little white bits-- foam may be removed as well, either way is okay).
- transfer ghee to jar, store at room temperature (up to one month) or in fridge (up to one year).

[email protected]Clarified butter is a great way to add a touch of richness and flavor to your dishes. I especially like using it in baking, as it gives baked goods a lovely golden brown color.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of clarified butter or ghee. I find the flavor to be too strong and overpowering. I prefer to use regular butter or olive oil when I'm cooking.

[email protected]I tried making ghee for the first time recently and it turned out great! It was easy to make and it has a lovely nutty flavor. I've been using it in all sorts of dishes and it really adds a special touch.

[email protected]I've been using clarified butter for years and I love it! It has a higher smoke point than regular butter, so it's perfect for searing and frying. It also has a richer, more nuanced flavor.
