How to Make Almond Flour
Why not improve the ingredients in the foods your family enjoys? This recipe produces 1 ¼ cups of almond flour and requires five short minutes of your time. The single ingredient is almonds and almonds alone.
Which almonds are best for making almond flour? To make almond flour at home, the natural blanched almonds we offer at Glenda’s Farmhouse are perfect! Remember that almond flour and almond meal are made solely from almonds. While the almond meal is made with the skins still on the almonds, almond flour is made from almonds without skin (blanched).
Make almond flour by grinding almonds in a food processor. Add one cup of almonds to the food processor and use the pulse function to process them into the right texture. Keep the sides of the bowl scraped to ensure that the almonds are evenly processed as you press the pulse button for one second at a time for a total of 50 times. A blender is another option for creating almond flour.
For every 1 cup of almonds, the resulting almond flour will be 1 ¼ cups.
Storing Almond Flour
When you keep almond flour on hand for regular use, store it properly. The container should be airtight and kept within a dark cabinet when possible. Your almond flour will keep for up to two weeks in this situation.
You’ll want to put the container in the freezer for more extended storage. To use it, simply remove it from the freezer and let it rest on the countertop for about 20 minutes.
Tips for Using Almond Flour
When substituting almond flour for all-purpose flour, the exchange is one-to-one, but you may have to increase the number of eggs because the almond flour requires more binding power. Carefully follow recipes and consider a trial run or two.
Since almond flour is made solely from almonds, it is appropriate for keto and other low-carb diets. In fact, almond flour allows those following these diet plans to indulge in treats without packing on the pounds.
