Tips:

• You can make your own almond flour by processing 1 cup of silvered almonds in a food processor (or blender with a strong motor). Make sure that you pulse in 20-second intervals to prevent the almonds from turning into almond butter. 1 cup of silvered almonds yields approximately 1 cup of almond flour.
• If you cannot find almond flour in your store, you can look at club stores or online.
