Re: Dairy- for Baden [ghee]

[Guest guest]

Hi Baden,

I was a little paranoid so I was super vigilant!

I let the butter totally cool close to room temp after making the ghee

and I scooped out the top layer with a deep wooden spoon and then I

poured through sieve and didn't have a problem. Apparently there are

3 layers that are created when making ghee (way to go online tutorial

from YouTube!)

1) top layer: milk solids- the fat

2) middle layer: the clarfied butter

3) bottom layer: water from the butter

Very important not to mix or stir butter after it cools! I did let it

be on a low simmer for like 25 minutes so the milk solids turned like

a golden color a little toasty looking (not sure if this happens with

oven method) so when I finally did pour through sieve it all stayed at

bottom. I did however inspect the ghee in the jar for anything that

might have gone through!

Hope it works for you too!

All I can say is my whole house smelled like candy!

My hubby came home and loved the smell in the house!

YUMMY!

> When you put the remainder through the sieve, did the white stuff at

the bottom really stay behind (ie. in the strainer)? Like you, I don't

want to risk ruining a pound of organic butter with any experiments!
