Peanut Butter Recipe Tips
Before you jump start to make peanut butter , there are a few things you should know :
- Making this recipe is simple and easy, but patience is the key - Though it hardly takes 6-8 minutes to make this peanut butter , you need to run your food processor for few 40 - 60 minutes , stop , scrape and again run . This is a repetitive process until the nuts become smooth and spreadable.
- You don’t need anything except dry roasted peanuts and pinch of salt- You can use either unsalted or salted peanuts in this recipe. But if your using salted then no need to season with salt
- Honey and oil - Though honey and oil are truly optional adding it to homemade nut butters really helps in getting that perfect shiny and runny texture to the butter.
FAQ's
Why did my peanut butter didn’t turn out creamy ?
Each food processor’s strength is little bit different, it may need a few extra minutes in the food processor to make it shiny and creamy. It’ll get there!
Can I use toasted nuts ?
Yes , You can use homemade toasted nuts or pre-roasted nuts from the store. But still, I prefer to warm pre-toasted nuts in a oven or on a stovetop as this helps the oils loosen up.
Can I use any other kinds of nuts ?
Yes , You can absolutely substitute any nut you like in this recipe. Or use combination of almonds and peanut also . The method is exactly the same for making almond , pistachios or any other kind of nut butter.
Do I have to add the honey or any other sweetener ?
The honey helps balance out the saltiness and flavors of the peanuts, but if you want go for sugar-free then you can totally skip it.
How to store my homemade peanut butter?
Fridge or at room temp works here! It’s best in fridge in a sealed container for up to several weeks.
Making more or less peanut butter: You can use this technique with any amount of nuts. I find that I typically end up with about a half-cup less peanut butter than the amount of nuts I originally started with (for instance, 2 cups of peanuts makes about 1 ½ cups of peanut butter).
