This recipe worked perfectly as written. And now I have Ghee on hand! Several times, I did stir while heating butter which seemed to help the solids/foam float to the top. I know it's the nature of the beast (not this recipe), but removing the solids took some of the luscious butter flavor away. I will make this again, as it was very, very easy.
