Soak and Peel the BeansSoak your 1 cup of beans in water for 30–45 minutes.Rub the beans between your hands to peel off the skin (or pulse-blend with water for 5 seconds 2–3 times to loosen the skin, then rinse it off).Once peeled, rinse thoroughly and drain.📝 Note: If you're short on time, you can use already peeled beans or store-bought peeled beans flour (bean powder).2. Blend the BeansPut the peeled beans into a blender.
