Place almonds into a powerful blender and blend until we reach a fine-textured flour. While grinding, make sure to pause, remove the blender or jar from the base, shake it, or mix the ground almonds with a spatula. This step is crucial as there will be almond clumps at the bottom of the blender, and we need to release them before grinding it again.
Continue grinding for a few seconds, pause, release the clusters, and grind again. Keep doing this procedure until we reach fine-textured flour. The time will be different based on the blender you use.
We can also sieve the flour and check for the remaining pieces of almonds. And blend those pieces again until all the nuts are blended.
Storing Suggestions
It depends! Let’s say if you want to use almond meal in your cooking or baking right away or within a week, store it into seal tight container and keep it in a cold and dark place. Probably in your pantry, or you can place it into the fridge, but away from light and heat.
If you want to keep it for later use or have leftover, store it into seal tight container and place it into the freezer. Take it out from the freezer 15-20 minutes before using it in the recipe. Let it sit on the countertop and come to room temperature. And then use it in your recipe.
