    Almond flour

    I've used both almond & coconut flours and I find them very palatable, but then I love almonds and coconut!!! I suppose there is a slight taste of almonds, but it's not strong like marzipan. Just get some ground almonds and have a go. Lidl usually have ground almonds at a good price. Enjoy your...
