Instructions

In preparing the almonds, use raw almonds and just leave the skin on. The amount of almonds should be enough for your needs. Portion it accordingly.
With the help of a blender or food processor, make a ground almond meal. Pulse the almonds and shake up the blender from time to time to avoid clumping inside the blender.

Notes

Grind Properly: When using a food processor or grinder, make sure to use a high-quality product for better results. A fine or coarse almond meal depends on how long you grind the almonds.
Thickeners and Coating: A good quality almond meal can be used as a thickener or coating for dishes like gravy, soup, and even almond-crusted chicken.
Use Freshly Ground: The best flavors and textures come from the freshly grounded almonds, it is also best to use it right after grounding. Store the leftover fresh almond meal.
