Method How to Make Peanut for Selling in Nigeria – Peanut Snack
- First of all, pour the groundnuts/peanuts into a saucer or wide bowl and separate all split or broken peanuts.
- Secondly, mix all dry ingredients together – the all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, sugar, and nutmeg, set aside.
- Thirdly, break the eggs into a deep bowl, add flavor and whisk until foamy. Scoop in 2-spoons of the dried mixture of flour and continue to whisk until the batter consistency is slightly runny.
- Start by adding 1-2 spoons of egg batter consistency on the dry groundnut/peanut. After that shake in a circular shifting/motion before sprinkling about 2-3 spoons of the flour mixture as you shake.
- The peanut will likely stick together when shaking; use a knife or hand to separate and more sprinkle dry flour mixture. And continue as the peanuts form a ball shape.
- This process should continue for about 3-4 times until well coated into a proper ball shape or oval shape. When the peanuts are well coated they look smooth; transfer on a sieve to remove excess flour lying at the button ready to fry.
- Finally, in a deep frying pan bring the oil to heat; stir in the first batch of your peanuts and fry with continuous stirring for 5-7 minutes until balls turn a golden color. Repeat the process until you finish frying all coated peanuts.
- Remove from heat into a sieve lined with a paper towel to drain the oil and completely cold; store in a tight container.
At this point your delicious crunchy coated peanut snack is ready.
