Making own nut flour?

Squeekyboy · Sep 25, 2016

Hi all you wonder bakers out there. Can you tell me if one can take ground Almonds & grind them more, would this turn into flour? Any advice on types of grinders that I could use please, if answer to above is yes?
Thanks. Squeekyboy. Steve

Hello

Are the ground almonds blanched, as in no skins? It looks like most ground almonds contain their skins whereas almond flour doesn't. I'm not sure what affect that would have on your baking if you managed to grind them up fine enough for flour.

Also, I'd imagine there would be a good bit of oil in the ground almonds that would cause your flour to become quite clumped together?

All the above is just guesswork as I've never done it. But I'd imagine getting the ground almonds fine enough for flour could be a very difficult and long process.

@Sauron, Thank you, I'll try the ready made flour as at this add but just wondered if I could make myself? Squeekyboy (Steve)

I would imagine that it would need an industrial grinder otherwise you would just wear a standard grinder out and thus would not be cost effective
