Peanut Butter

• Ingredients
  • 1kg peanuts
  • 7g (~1tsp) salt
  • 100g (~10tsp) powdered sugar -> FIXME: I saw this again recently and don't understand how it's supposed to make sense. 100g of sugar is definitely not 10tsp, maybe 10Tbsp, but that still seems like a lot. I can't test it, though, at the moment, so I don't know what the correct amount is.
• Instructions
  • Roast the peanuts in oven at 150 degrees Celsius, frequently turning them around until brown.
  • Let the peanuts cool down.
  • Put small (~250g) portions of peanuts into blender with some of the sugar and salt
  • Blend while constantly pushing down the sides with a wooden spoon, or, preferably, something flat
    • Note: this will only work with a good quality blender - the cheap ones can burn out or simply don't have enough power do blend the peanuts properly. It can take quite a while until the peanuts actually turn into a paste - if you don't keep pushing the sides down, the blender won't have anything to cut since everything will be stuck to the sides. If you're lucky, you may have a blender where the blades don't go all the way to the sides, so you can carefully push down on the sides while it's running, but if that isn't possible, you may just have to keep turning it off and on again to push everything down. It is also possible to do this with an electric coffee grinder, it just may take a very long time. When using a coffee grinder, watch out that you don't burn out the motor.
  • Mix all the small portions of peanut butter together in a bowl so the salt and sugar are evenly spread.
