A blanched peanut is one in which the skin is removed. The blanching process is done by putting the peanuts in hot water for about three minutes, then rapidly cooling them and rubbing off their skins. Once, the skins have been removed spread them on paper to dry and refrigerate
I found the raw blanched peanuts I used in the bulk bin on a local store for $3.29 a pound. I didn't know how much I would need so I bought two pounds. I had read that peanuts would not expand much during the soaking process, unlike dried beans, so I filled my two containers with peanuts and then dumped them into my large container for a 12 hour soak.
In the end each cake turned out to be just over 330 grams.
