Notes
*Store in the fridge up to a week.
Almond flour – you can also use almond ‘meal’, which tends to be cheaper at the supermarket. You can purchase ‘blanched’ flour in some places, but if not, place in a small pan over low heat for a few minutes and stir regularly. This ‘blanches’ it to give it a different flavour. Alternatively, just skip this step and use the almond flour/meal as is.Â
