ghee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some special butter' is the definition.
'ghee' can be an answer for 'butter' (ghee is a kind of butter). I am not certain of the 'some special' bit.

'that guy inside george ends' is the wordplay.
'that guy' becomes 'he'.
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'ends' means to remove the middle letters.
'george' with its centre taken out is 'ge'.
'he' going into 'ge' is 'GHEE'.

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
