-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb unsalted butter -- (450 g)
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Increase the heat
and bring the butter to a boil. When the surface is completely covered with
foam stir the butter gently and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting.
Simmer uncovered and undisturbed for 45 minutes, or until the milk solids
in the bottom of the pan have turned golden brown and the butter on top is
transparent.
Strain the butter through a sieve lined with linen or four layers of cheese
cloth. If there are any solids in the ghee, no matter how small, strain it
again until it is perfectly clear.
Pour the ghee into a glass jar and seal tightly. This recipe makes about 1+1/2 cups, and may be kept at room
temperature for several months, or almost indefinitely refrigerated. It will
congeal if refrigerated, and so must be warmed before using.
