Equipment

  • high speed blender, or food processor

Ingredients

  • 250 grams raw almonds (8.8 oz)

Optional flavor enhancers

  • A pinch of salt
  • 1-3 tablespoons neutral oil
  • A drizzle agave
  • seasonings such as cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg

Instructions

  • The first step is optional: Peel the almonds. To do this, simply place them briefly in a pot of boiling water, drain them through a sieve and rinse them with cold water. After that, they can be easily squeezed out of the shell. Add to a glass, fill with water and soften overnight.
  • Place almonds in a preheated oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes at 180°C / 355°F. Let them cool briefly before processing.
  • Start blending the almonds within one minute into fine flour. Start at the lowest speed and slowly increase. Continue blending in several stages, always starting on the lowest setting. When you reached flour consistency wait for about ten minutes for it to cool and to let the almond oil escape. Depending on the kitchen appliance, a creamy consistency may already be apparent after about four to five passes. Then continue processing until creamy. Transfer to clean glass, or season.
  • To season you can add salt to enhance flavors, oil for a richer taste, or drizzles of agave for sweetness. If you want a specific flavor added you can add seasonings such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
