No you can't just substitute almond flour (ground almonds) for regular wheat flour, generally. Your cakes won't rise the same - they'll probably sink right to the bottom in fact! However, there are quite a lot of recipes which do use almond flour for breads, biscuits (cookies) and cakes that are included in both Elaine Gottschall's book and Carol Sinclair's book (refs on my AS web page). If you're going starch-free, these books are worth getting for the recipes alone. http://pcjagg.dbs.aber.ac.uk/as/as.html Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Dear , I am so bummed about not being able to find the Sinclair book here in the Chicago area or on the net. I have ordered the Gottschall book. I am wondering why it would matter in food were canned if the ingredients are listed and sugar is not in there. I mean, salmon is just salmon, right? Thanks and sorry to bother you so much. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Dear AlphaBrat, On second thought, I believe I will just move to your house. My husband helps with the cooking since I have had RA so badly, but what I really need, what we could all really use, is a good wife. love, Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about bothering me - I always like to help if I can :-) Coincidentally I noticed that there is a web site for the book only the other day, it's at: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~design.machine-tanya/irritable.bowel/home.htm It doesn't look like you can buy it direct from the web site though, but you could probably order it direct from amazon.co.uk who certainly do carry it. I'm not sure how much international postage is, but it wouldn't be too much I'm sure. Take a look at the web page and see if you think it's worth it!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 , you mentioned having had delicious cake made with almond flour. Do you buy premade almond flour or make your own from crispy nuts? If you buy it premade, do you soak it at all? Also, would you mind sharing if you have a truly scrumptous recipe? We're about to start the SCD here - without the dairy, for now. Thanks!

I mix the wet ingredients all together and then mix the dry ingredients and then blend wet and dry. It fits in a 10 " square pan. I cook it at 350 for an 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean. I used to make it with no sugar (just sweet bananas!) but now I'd add about a half cup of honey... yum! I'm writing this here now because I wonder how I would change it to make it more NN. Any ideas? Maybe more egg yolks? ~Robin Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Kandee, ALmond flour is very easy to make. Soak and dry the almonds and then store in the freezer. When you need some, just grind them to flour in a food processor. I wouldn't buy store almond flour as nuts go rancid very easily, especially once they are ground.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, Do you remove the skins? This would require blanching the almonds first. Somewhere I have heard that it is more healthful to remove the skins, that maybe the skins aren't that good for you, and if you are eating almond flour baked goods every day, then you are getting a lot of almond skins. anyone know? sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
