Questions about Almond meal
How do you make almond meal at home?
Pulse whole almonds in short bursts in a food processor, stopping as soon as they become a coarse, even powder. Long processing releases oil and turns the meal into almond butter.
Can you use almond meal instead of plain flour in baking?
Not as a direct one-for-one swap: almond meal has no gluten and adds more fat, so cakes and biscuits can turn dense or crumbly. Use a recipe written for almond meal, or replace only a small part of the plain flour.
What is the difference between almond meal and almond flour?
The names are often used interchangeably. Almond meal is commonly coarser and may include the skins, while almond flour is often finely ground blanched almonds; check the texture and colour when choosing for a recipe.
How should you store almond meal?
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge, where the ground almonds are less exposed to warmth and air. Freeze any quantity you will not use soon, and let it come to room temperature while still sealed to limit condensation.
What can you make with almond meal?
Use it in frangipane tarts, almond cakes and biscuits, or to give a crisp coating to fish or chicken. For a toastier flavour, spread it on a baking tray and bake at 160 °C for about 5–8 minutes, stirring once and watching closely.
Can you eat almond meal if you have a nut allergy?
No: almond meal is made from almonds, a tree nut, and can trigger an allergic reaction. Avoid it if you are allergic to almonds, and do not assume that cooking makes it safe.
