It's been in Betty's back pocket for quite some time, and you can bet this recipe isn't going anywhere soon. Home cooks from all over have claimed this to be the best peanut butter cookie they've ever made-and we certainly agree!

Tips for Making the Best Peanut Butter:

  • Use high-quality peanuts: Look for peanuts that are fresh and free of blemishes. Organic peanuts are a good choice, as they are grown without pesticides or herbicides.
  • Roast the peanuts before blending: Roasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and makes them more aromatic. You can roast peanuts in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender: A food processor or high-powered blender is essential for making smooth and creamy peanut butter. A regular blender will not be powerful enough to break down the peanuts properly.
  • Start with a small batch: When you're making peanut butter for the first time, it's best to start with a small batch. This will help you to get a feel for the process and avoid making a big mess.
  • Be patient: Making peanut butter takes time. It can take several minutes of blending to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Don't be discouraged if your peanut butter doesn't look perfect at first. Just keep blending and it will eventually come together.

Conclusion:

Making peanut butter at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little patience and practice, you can make delicious and healthy peanut butter that is perfect for spreading on toast, adding to smoothies, or using in your favorite recipes. So next time you're in the mood for peanut butter, try making your own. You'll be glad you did!
