Almond flour

Does it have a taste?  Can you make just about anything with it? 

thanks

Hi Melissa,
It pretty much just tastes like nuts, but it's not really strong.  You can use it for things like pie crusts and crumb toppings.  I've never tried it for bread-type recipes.  It tends to pack more and it's heavier than white or wheat flour (in my opinion).  Try using it instead of graham crackers for crusts, but you'll need to add some Splenda because it's very bland.
Hope this helps.

It tastes like almonds--I mix it with soy flour and some soft butter and make the bottom of a cheesecake or pie--just mix it together and press into the pie tin--bake at 350 for 5-8 minutes to get brown and toasty.  It can also be used to coat fish or chicken.  Try rolling chicken in cream ofsomething soup and then coat with the almond flour; top with little dab of butter.  Then bake.  Yummy.  It cannot be substitued one to one for regular flour. 

One of the things I use it for is breading for chicken cutlets or egplant. I mix 1/2 almond meal, 1/2 parm cheese,  a tbs italian seasoning, a little garlic powder. Dip whatever in some beaten eggs and then the almond meal mixture. Bake or pan fry as usual. Wonder substitute for bread crumbs.

I also used it to bread Chicken, it tasted very good but the texture is a bit gritty because of  it being almonds, it tends to crumble while cooking. 

A stonger binding agent may help with the crumbling, ... but I dont have a clue as to what eles to use...
