How to Prepare Peanut Burger
Equipment
- Cups for measuring
- Bowls
- Hand mixer or whisk
- Frying pan or deep fryer
- Spoons for Measuring
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Flour
- 2 cups raw groundnuts or peanuts
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
- Milk flavour(Optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 Eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- Frying oil made from vegetables
Instructions
- step1: To begin, place the roasted groundnuts/peanuts on a saucer or large bowl and separate any split or broken peanuts.
- step2: Second, mix all of the dry ingredients – all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, sugar, and nutmeg – and leave aside.
- step3: Crack the eggs into a large mixing basin, add the flavouring, and whisk until frothy. Scoop in 2 tablespoons of the dry flour mixture and whisk until the batter is somewhat runny.
- step4: Begin by sprinkling 1-2 spoons of egg batter consistency on top of the dried groundnut/peanut. Then, shake in a circular motion, scattering roughly 2-3 spoons of the flour mixture as you shake.
- step5: When shaking, the peanuts will most likely cling together; use a knife or your hand to separate and sprinkle extra dry flour mixture. Continue until the peanuts form a ball.
- step6: This process should be repeated 3-4 times until the ball or oval form is thoroughly coated. When the peanuts are well coated, they should seem smooth; transfer to a sieve to remove excess flour before frying.
- step7: Finally, heat the oil in a deep frying pan; add the first batch of peanuts and fry, turning constantly, for 5-7 minutes, or until the balls develop a golden colour. Repeat the process until all of the coated peanuts have been fried.
- step8: Remove from the heat and pour onto a sieve lined with a paper towel to drain the oil and cool fully before storing it in an airtight container.
Variations
- Add a drop of vanilla extract to the egg mixture for added flavour.
- You may also mix in 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1 teaspoon powdered milk to the flour.
