Instructions
- Dry roast the peanut on low medium heat till peanut becomes crisp and slightly change it’s colour. Don’t make too brown. And peanut should be roasted well to preserve for a long time.
- Or microwave on high power for 2 minutes. After one minute stir and press the start button.

- Let the peanut cool down. Take out all the peanut on a kitchen napkin or any cotton cloth. Wrap and rub with your palm to remove the skin of peanut. Separate the peanut and peel.
- Grind the peanut. Scrap the sides with a spoon or knife and grind again.
- Now peanut will release oil. You can use it as a spread if you don’t want to use oil.
- Add 2 tablespoon peanut oil in the grinder jar. If you want your peanut butter slightly sweet add 1 tablespoon honey at this stage. I didn’t. If you are using honey add only 1 tablespoon oil instead of 2 tablespoon. You can also add cocoa powder or chocolate chips or any herbs of your choice. Grind again to make smooth creamy butter.
- Store the peanut butter in covered container in refrigerator for later use.
