Any Home Bakers Here?

We use Alton Browns directions. Actually, my DH and I were arguing about how to make Ghee until I printed out the Alton Brown recipe and made a batch. A lot of the online recipes use a slightly different method, but the Alton Brown recipe makes a wonderful tasting Ghee and it is easy. Just make sure that you stay at the stove and keep an eye on it. As soon as that second foam starts, take it off the heat; it will brown very quickly and you really want it just golden in color. The darker it is, the nuttier it tastes.

Oh, and one more thing, DO NOT STIR IT while it cooks. You want those milk solids to sink to the bottom.

GHEE
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown Show: Good Eats Episode: Crustacean Nation III

Ingredients:
1 pound butter

Directions:
  • Place butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Bring butter to boil. This takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. The butter will form a foam which will disappear.
  • Ghee is done when a second foam forms on top of butter, and the butter turns golden. Approximately 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Brown milk solids will be in bottom of pan. Gently pour into heatproof container through fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  • Store in airtight container being sure to keep free from moisture. Ghee does not need refrigeration and will keep in airtight container for up to 1 month.

THANKS for posting Aria
 
I baked a loaf of Challah yesterday. The braiding looked right when I did it but it sort of pulled apart in the oven. Still tastes good though!
