Can these be used to make almond meal or flour?

I think that is how they are mod commonly used, since they have no peels, but I just eat them as they are!

I've never made almond meal or flour so I looked it up for you and my own curiosity but you could have looked it up too. Seems like these almonds will make almond meal (courser than flour) in a food processor or Vitamix but you'd want blanched almonds to make the (finer) almond flour. Hope this helps.

I've never made flour out of them, DH grinds them pretty small to put in pancakes.

I did not buy them to use for baking. I use them for pulled sugar work, and they are great for that. They are much thinner than Silpat, which I use for baking. However, I would use these for baking, as you pointed out there is no fiberglass in these and nothing to come in contact with your food. So it's an opinion thing. I like both for different things.

You'd be safer contacting the company to ask. Anthony's also makes (very lovely might I add) almond flour, and I'm not sure if it's processed in the same facility or with the same equipment as their coconut flour. You would think they wouldn't, being that its organic and I'm sure they are aware of high incidences of nut allergies and all, but to be safe I would call or email them to ask.

No, almond meal and almond flour need more eggs and liquids than regular flour. I usually add 2 eggs and at least 1/2 cup of liquid to the recipe but to be honest I rarely substitute preferring to follow recipes specifically for almond meal or almond flour.

No, this is not a replacement flour. You could use almond flour or coconut flour for a substitute for regular flour.

I have never made almond flour, but I would say that this food processor is better for making salsa type outcomes rather than ultra-fine outcomes. Does that make sense? The blades just don't seem to get close enough to the container for anything too small to result. That said, I love this product. It works well for me, no complaints.

I have ground almonds to make a pastry crust. It didn't come out super fine but was adequate for my purpose. I think I'd depend on how fine you need it.

Yes, you no doubt could, but they have a 9-month shelf life, so no need to! Now that I'm accustomed to the plastic-like texture, I really like them in place of flour or corn wraps. Good flavor.

I cannot answer your question about whether these can be used in making sugar work or caramel toffee. Sorry.

Don't see why not. I found it to be the best gluten free flour I tried.. I used it in a few baked cookie recipes and had no problems. Think it would be worth a try.. I really was impressed with the product. They have a website where you can get contact information and email them with your question just to be sure.

I used them for very tiny biscuits once, it was very difficult to get the dough out without misshaping it. I imagine it would work okay, but think Teddy Grahams size. Very tiny.

I always mix this flour with Almond or Coconut Flour and don't have trouble. Try experimenting. Brownies should come out okay.

I don't see why not, though they may get quite warm. Also, to avoid a mess and possibly leave brown or greasy marks on the tray, I would suggest using baking parchment under the hors d'oeuvres.

I am sure you can use the machine with any kind of beans or nuts, I didn't try with almond yet but I did with black eye pea & soybean, it came out perfect.

If the nuts are chopped fine it might work. If not then add the nuts as a topping for the muffins. Use work for mini muffin tins. Has great control of the amount of batter dispensed

It appears to me that you can--I think that is the intent. I have to confess, however, that I'm using it for dog food rather than for flour. It is a very nicely designed container.

I don't really taste or smell almond in the baked goods I've used this flour for. If I wanted my baked good to taste of almonds, I would add almond extract, Amaretto, marzipan or some such to infuse the flavor throughout the finished product.
