I found this definition online: Yes, almond flour and ground almonds can be used interchangeably in most recipes. The main difference between the two is that almond flour is made from blanched almonds, while ground almonds still have the skin on. This means that ground almonds will have a slightly coarser texture and a slightly nuttier flavor.<br />By that definition I would use almond flour.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-51990933794328358482023-04-18T16:57:14.605+01:002023-04-18T16:57:14.605+01:00Almond meal is quite different to almond flour, wh...Almond meal is quite different to almond flour, which should be used?

From what I have read the best substitute would be sunflower seed flour, which has a very similar consistency. It can however tint your baked goods green due to a reaction with the baking soda or powder (of which there is none in this recipe.) They say to avoid this to add a TBS of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Since these are lemon friands I would suggest lemon juice. Another 1:1 substitute for almond flour would be cashew flour, which would probably taste amazingly rich. You can make it at home with raw cashews and a blender/food processor. They did say that sunflower seed flour would taste the best. I hope that this helps and I wish I could say with some certainty that these would work, but not having done so myself I cannot promise you that it will!

Also I don't know the metric system when it came to the butter. 200gms was either too little or too much when I was trying to look up conversions. I'm going to try again. I made curd too but the recipe I followed was in metric too. I'll tell ya, Chef Ramsey from Hells Kitchen would call me a donkey! :-) But if you don't succeed try try again!
