To Make With High-Powered Blender (recommended): Place the almonds in the blender. Pulse 25-50 times in 1-second increments, stopping to scrape down the sides 2-3 times.
To Make With Food Processor: Place the almonds in the food processor fitted with a blade. Pulse 50-60 times in 1-second increments, stopping to scrape down the sides 3-4 times.
Tips to Remember: Over-mixing on continuous speed will release moisture and oils, making the almond flour dense and heavy. Short pulses are recommended. For super fine almond flour (best for baking), run the flour through a sifter before storing or using, which filters out any small unprocessed pieces.1 cup almonds yields 1¼ - 1⅓ cup almond flour.
