CLARIFIED BUTTER RECIPE "GHEE"

Ghee or clarified butter is used in dishes that call for foods fried in butter. With this
recipe, the milk solids of the butter are removed and lets the cook fry at a higher heat
without burning the butter.



Armenians use clarifed butter for frying and making pastries. It is better than ordinary butter as
it does not burn as easily. Pastries made with clarified butter will retain their freshness longer. Clarified butter is widely used in East Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines as well.
