Malinese Peanut Biscuits (Kulikuli)

Ingredients:

3-1/2 cups peanut paste or peanut butter

1/2 cup warm water

Peanut oil, for deep-frying

Salt

Cooking Instructions:

Peanuts can often be freshly ground for you at health food stores. Put the peanut paste in a bowl, and use your hand to knead and squeeze the paste to coax out excess oil. Add small amounts of the warm water from time to time to help extract the oil. Continue the kneading and squeezing process until most of the oil is extracted and you get a smooth paste. Season with salt. Add the extracted oil to the oil you will use for deep-frying. Shape the paste into rings or small, flat biscuits. Heat 1 inch of peanut oil in a skillet and fry the biscuits until golden brown. Remove from the heat, drain, let cool, and store in an airtight container until needed.
