almond flour

[Guest guest]

Some time after starting on the SCD I learned about almond flour as a substitute for grain flours. When I priced almond flour though I had a badcase of 'sticker shock' !Recently, a very savvy friend suggested a way to make almond

flour that is a whole lot less expensive than buying it commercially - and it works!

I buy almonds at Trader Joe's; put them first in the Vita Mix

to break them into smaller pieces; then grind these pieces

in a coffee bean grinder. I start with the coarse setting and then

switch to fine. This produces a really good flour.

Occasionally, there are a few bits of almond that don't

get pulverized the first time, so I re-grind the batch once more.

I made my first batch of almond flour pancakes a few days ago

using flour made this way and they were great.Bob in Tucson
