Homemade Ghee Butter

4.8(9)

If you've never made your own ghee, it's really easy! Using high-quality butter makes such delicious ghee, too. I love using Kerrygold grass-fed butter.

1 pound of high-quality butter (preferably grass-fed)butter

Instructions (7 steps)

01Cut the butter into large pieces and melt them in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
02Let the butter simmer for 20-25 minutes. If it starts to bubble or splatter too much, turn the heat down to low. The butter will form a thick foam on top for most of that time.
03As it simmers, the thick foam will begin to subside and then a few minutes later a more fine, fizzy-looking foam will start to form. This is your signal to remove the butter from the stove.
04Let the butter cool until it stops bubbling. Meanwhile, prepare to strain the butter by nesting a metal, fine-mesh strainer in a medium bowl. Lay a paper towel in the strainer.
05Pour the butter through the paper-towel lined strainer to strain the milk solids from the butter.
06Voila! Ghee! Pour the ghee into a lidded container. It fits perfectly in a pint-sized mason jar.
