Clarified butter does not do good things to one's cholesterol level, but it can take high heat without burning and the taste is wonderfully rich.


Ghee
Clarified Butter

Rating: easy, but long and tedious
Preparation time: 1-2 hours
Ingredients:

1 or 2 lbs. unsalted butter

Procedure:

Simmer the butter in a pot. Every once in awhile remove the froth from the top. After the butterfat has completly separated from the curds (that opaque stuff at the bottom) strain the butter through a cheesecloth. Store in an air tight jar.

Refrigerated, this will keep for some months. A more heart friendly oil can be substituted, but the taste will not be as rich.
