Video Transcription

ok so today I'm going to show you how to make ye I'm gonna get right into the how to of it so if you don't know what it is or you want to know why you should make it go ahead and skip to 3 minutes into 20 seconds in the video but here we go so I start with a high quality butter I use carry gold and this is made from milk from grass-fed cows I get the unsalted kind you can get salted but in general unsalted cooks a little bit better you can also go to your farmers market you can get raw butter that's the best way to do it but this is available at the store and it's not too expensive this cost me 324 an 8-ounce flock anyway I'm going to take two pounds of it and you need a dish that is deep enough for your spoon for when you melt all of the butter in the oven you need to spoon it out so the first step we're going to do we're going to take each one of these and we're going to put it in our little jar and also i just read that geek an be used as a moisturizer so if you can use butter as a moisturizer to you can ok so you pack these all in tight like so and then you heat your oven to 215 and leave it in for an hour and 15 minutes so we're gonna do that right now all right now that an hour and 15 minutes have passed the butter is ready to be strained so right here you can see that all of the milk solids are at the bottom of the pan and there's some floating at the top and the first thing you have to do is skim the milk solids off at the top there then it's just a process of getting all the clarified butter out of the pan and leaving all the milk solids in so next we're going to use your filter right here and just a small piece of paper towel this keeps any of the bigger chunks out but generally you won't even need to use it if the butter clarified well I got two jars right here these are the two and a half cup ball jars and right here I've got some leftover G from another batch and I just want to add to it so that's why that's there you want two jars so that you can rest your filter on here so that it doesn't slip it's just a small tidbit that's not really that necessary ok then it's just a process of scooping this out and letting it filter through and it goes pretty fast when you first start because the paper towel doesn't have too much gunk in it as you go along it'll get slower and slower you also might need to change a paper towel when it gets a little bit too gunky but I just grabbed a new one and it'll go a little bit smoother after that once you get close to the bottom the milk fat starts to try and get into the spoon so really just at that point you just need to be careful and make sure that you're only getting the part that you want and as long as the dish isn't still hot you can of course turn it over like this but really that's all there is to it and then once you're done you get this golden delicious looking stuff and it'll keep for a really long time without refrigeration but I generally refrigerate it you could drink this while it's warm but it wouldn't be that Pleasant okay so what is gay exactly what we actually just made was clarified butter ghee actually involves a different process where you use some goat yogurt we call a gay anyway just to be simple but ghee is butter with all of the milk solids removed now what that means is that you still have all of the butter fat and the vitamins and nutrients that you'd get from butter but you don't have any of the milk solids which include casing and lactose so if you have a dairy allergy you can still eat it and butter is actually extremely nutritious i know i've mentioned it before in our other videos but fat is kind of made out to be the villain in your nutrition when it's actually one of the most important nutrients that you have in fact your brain can't metabolize anything but fat so considering all of the food allergies that we have these days it's really good to be able to have a high nutrient foods like butter but not have any of the problems that's associated with it from the casing and the lactose now as you saw in the video I use kerrygold brand butter and the reason I use this is because the cows that make the butter are grass fed and cows are only supposed to eat grass so you have healthier cows when they're eating grass and naturally a better tasting butter if you can get the butter from the farmers market where it's unpasteurized that's the best way to do it because then you have it in its most natural form with all the good bacteria is still inside of it but I know it's not always an option to get unpasteurized butter so if you can't go to the farmers market usually find butter that says raw unpasteurized on it and that's the kind that I would write man to use but anyway for myself I eat it all the time I don't even actually put it on anything but it actually is really good for cooking because it has a higher smoke point than regular butter so if you're sautéing something the butter won't burn is easily also of note is that when you're cooking with oils you should really only use coconut oil or butter and that's because most oils are destroyed at high heat it actually changes the molecular structure of the fat when you're cooking with it at high heat so for example you don't want to cook with olive oil ever your body can make it go through but it's not going to be very good for you so anyway I hope you got something out of this video and I hope you know how to make it now it's actually one of my favorite foods because it is so good for you and I love eating butter it tastes slightly different but you get used to the taste pretty quickly it's really cheap and easy to make as long as you buy your own butter you can see here really the only step is to heat it in the oven and then you have to take 10 minutes to strain it out but that's not hard to do and it's actually kind of satisfying Washington go through anyways hope you enjoyed watching the video if you've
