Peanut butter, homemade.

Now that I've started making nut butters and know how simple and quick it is I am keeping myself supplied.

Here is the process.

These are unsalted roasted peanuts.

Mixed nuts produce a flavourful butter that varies with the variety of the nuts.

I plan to try adding some chunks of cocoa mass to a batch of the plain peanut butter but have not yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After grinding for a bit some oil is added.  And then some more grinding.

I am not sure if a longer processing would result in a smoother butter.  It gets thicker, of course, and I like it chunky; there is also some concern about burning out the motor on this small machine.  Any experience with this?

I also started making chappattis again and having a stack of them in the freezer with a quick pop  into the toaster oven has me keeping that supply on hand.  It takes about 20 minutes to make a dozen.
