Almond Flour

What is Almond Flour?

Almond flour is simply ground blanched almonds, and can be used in place of wheat flour to make a recipe more suitable for low carbohydrate diets.

Recipes dating back to medieval times call for it as a thickener, a replacement for wheat flour, and a base for cakes and puddings. It doesn't show up a lot these days as an ingredient, but is still essential to certain recipes.
