How to make ghee | Chef Jean-Pierre
If you’re unfamiliar with ghee you may be wondering why you would use it and what advantages it has over butter or cooking oil. First it doesn’t burn as easily as butter. It can be purchased in the grocery store or made at home. Ghee is also very versatile; it hardens at lower temperatures but can be easily melted when needed and spreads easily. Ghee is also beneficial if you need to avoid lactose as the process of making ghee removes the milk solids making it suitable for someone who is lactose intolerant.
This recipe yields about 3 cups of ghee. Add it to curries and dals use it in baking (like this banana bread) or try it on popcorn with fine sea salt and pepper.
2 1/4 pounds unsalted butter
