Hi! I asked Aidel, our AI cooking assistant (just click that purple chef icon on the bottom of the screen to interact with her!) and this is what she suggests: To make almond flour at home, follow these steps:

Ingredients:

  • Raw almonds

Equipment:

  • Blender or food processor
  • Fine mesh sieve

Instructions:

  1. Blanch Almonds (Optional): If you prefer a finer texture without skins, blanch the almonds by boiling them for about 1 minute, then rinse with cold water and peel off the skins.
  2. Dry the Almonds: Ensure almonds are completely dry before grinding. You can air dry them or use a low temperature in the oven.
  • Grind the Almonds:Place the dry almonds in a blender or food processor.
  • Pulse in short bursts until the almonds are finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as this can turn them into almond butter.
  • Sift the Almond Flour:Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the ground almonds. This will separate any larger pieces from the fine flour.
  • Re-process any larger pieces until all almonds are finely ground.
  • Store the Almond Flour:Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer freshness.

This method will give you fresh, homemade almond flour perfect for kosher baking needs.
