Melted ghee; solid ghee pressed into the cup weighs about the same.

Also called: clarified butter.

Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
