Re: Getting fine almond flour

[Guest guest]

I remember a while back there was a discussion about substituting nut butter for

nut flour. If you want a really fine texture, you can substitute almond butter

for almond flour. Nut butters are fairly easy to find.

The trick is finding out what the ratio is, for example 1/2 cup butter for 1 cup

flour? Or would it be closer to 3/4 cup nut butter to 1 cup nut flour. Does

someone have the ratio? I tried searching the archives but was unsuccessful.

I made the peanut butter brownies from BTVC for the first time recently, and

they were delicious. I never would have imagined that they would have such a

brownie-like texture. So I think nut-butter substituting for nut flour would

turn out just fine.

Although my memory may be faulty, I remember a post from Jody G a

loooong time ago that said you could substitute one-to-one. If you

try it, do a small batch to confirm, but I'm fairly certain this is

what she said.

I have this saved from the yahoo group if this helps. Pearl

1 cup of almond flour

= 1/3 C + 2tsp almond butter

= 2/3 c almonds

1 C almond butter

= slightly less than 2 C nuts

= lightly less than 3 C almond flour

1 C almonds

= 1.5 C flour

=1/2 C + 1 T almond butter.

Ah, here it is. Post number 42228 from Jody G

" I'm just not sure about adapting recipes. "

The recipes do not need altered in any way.

Use the same amount of nut butter that you would use not flour.
