Sue’s tip:

Ghee is commonly referred to as clarified butter. Ghee is made from a natural source (butter) and because of the way it’s prepared, (melting butter until it simmers and water has evaporated, then straining through a fine mesh strainer, leaving the lactose and milk protein content behind, making it better tolerated by those with dairy sensitivities. It is commonly used in Indian cooking. Find it in the international aisle of well-stocked grocery stores.
