How to make peanut butter?
For homemade pasta, it's better to take raw peanuts and cook it yourself. As a sweetener, it is better to use honey, well, or in extreme cases, powdered sugar, since sugar is poorly soluble and, as a result, the oil will turn out with grains, and not smooth and homogeneous.
Ingredients:
- raw peanuts - 340 g;
- honey - 30 ml;
- refined oil - 15 ml;
- salt - 5 g.
Preparation
Peanuts are well washed and blanched in boiling water for a couple of minutes, and then washed with ice water. Such processing with a temperature difference will greatly facilitate the process of peeling and grinding. After washing, put it on a baking sheet with parchment and put in the oven for 10 minutes, sometimes stir. After the nuts have cooled down into a bowl and cover another suitable diameter and very actively shake, while the husks are well separated from the kernels. Then it will be enough just to sift through a large sieve. We fall asleep peanuts in a blender and begin to grind, at first the baby will turn out, then the flour, then the mass will start to gather in a knot and only after 15-20 minutes the nuts will begin to give the oil and the homogeneous paste will turn out. This process is not fast, so the blender should be allowed to cool from time to time, and mix the mass and scrape off the walls.
We add oil, preferably not aromatic or peanut, honey of not pronounced taste and fine salt. Once again, mix and add to the jar for storage.
