Simple method for making ghee in the oven for a simple, healthy, and budget-friendly option to expensive commercial brands.
Preheat the oven to 230 ºF/ 110 ºC
Place sticks of butter in an uncovered baking pan. This is the one I use in the picture above.
Warm the pan with the butter in the oven for one hour.
Remove pan from oven and skim off the foam on the top.
Cool the pan to room temperature on the counter.
Place pan in the refrigerator until chilled (about 3+ hours).
Remove pan from refrigerator and carefully remove the solidified ghee on top. A small amount of browned milk solids will remain underneath the ghee. This can be discarded.
Rinse the solidified ghee chunks you remove from the pan in filtered water and pat dry with a clean, cotton dishtowel.
Cut into oven-made ghee into chunks and store in the refrigerator in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid. If you live in a cooler climate, you can store the ghee in a jar in the pantry.
Ghee will last for many months!
