How To Make Clarified Butter

Ghee is commonly used in Indian cooking.

Ingredients

• 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1. Place butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Remove from heat and allow milk solids to sink to bottom.
2. Skim any foam from surface, then carefully pour off clarified butter, leaving solids behind.

Use as you would any cooking oil.
