Ingredients

  • 450 grams unsalted local butter

Method

  1. Place the butter in a tall-sided pot over medium heat
  2. When the butter melts, begin stirring with a wooden spoon for several minutes continuously
  3. When foam-like bubbles appear, lower the heat slightly and continue stirring on the stove for about 25 minutes
    Timers: 25 min
  4. You will notice the milk proteins beginning to separate from the butter and collecting on the sides of the pot
  5. Wait until the milk protein at the bottom of the pot turns brown in color
  6. Put a small piece of bread into the clarified butter pot; if it turns light blond, the ghee is clear and ready
  7. If the bread turns dark brown, that means milk residues remain, so let it simmer a little longer
  8. When the country ghee is ready, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool for a few minutes
  9. . When the homemade ghee has cooled slightly, strain it through a cotton cloth into a jar or container to remove any remaining milk solids
  10. Store the homemade country ghee in a cool place or in the refrigerator; it can also be kept at room temperature
  11. Easy chocolate cookies
