About Ghee
For soft ghee, press out air pockets; for melted ghee, use a level liquid measure. Direct weighing is convenient, but the recipe still determines which physical state to use.
Ghee contains much less water than ordinary butter. Substituting it changes both fat and water in a dough; do not apply a fixed replacement ratio or automatically reduce the recipe's liquid.
Tips for measuring Ghee
- Note whether the recipe asks for melted ghee.
- Avoid trapped gaps when measuring it soft.
Common mistakes
- Treating ghee and butter as identical in a creamed cake.
