Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond slivers

Instructions

  • Food Processor Method: Add almond slivers to a food processor and pulse in short bursts until the almonds are broken down into smaller bits. Use a rubber spatula to remove any almond bits on the side or bottom of the bowl. Repeat processing until a flour texture is achieved.
  • Blender Method: Add almond slivers to a blender jar and pulse in short bursts until the almonds are broken down into smaller bits. Use a rubber spatula to remove any almond bits on the side or bottom of the jar. Repeat processing until a flour mixture is achieved.
  • To Blanch Almonds: If you prefer to blanch almonds at home, preheat your oven to its lowest settings, 200°F/93°C or lower. Then turn off the heat. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup of raw almonds and set a timer for one minute. Then remove from heat and drain almonds in a strainer. Set them aside until cool enough to handle. Press the almonds between two fingers, gently pushing until the almond separates from the peel. Transfer skinned almonds to a pan lined with parchment paper and place the pan in the oven (which is now warm, but not hot). Let them sit for 10 to 20 minutes to thoroughly dry out.
