I'd say return it. It's way too coarse to do anything fun with.

Chef Rachel just did a review of Elana's book AND has a contest for a free copy:

And this bread recipe works nicely with any nut meal. HAven't tried it with finer nut flour though: http://bearmedicineherbals.com/?p=394 -- it is quite dense and sits heavy in the belly if you eat too much in one sitting

I also made this into a GF version:

I cut down the amount of sugar by about half (I used Sucanat/Rapadura). Used coconut flour instead of wheat flour (because I figured I needed to have something to soak up the liquid that wouldn't be soaked up by the absent sugar) - but I bet that any nut flour would work (mmmm.... hazlenut....).

I'm thinking that one might be able to use the thick (kefired?) coconut cream in canned coconut milk that actually separates (i.e., not the Native Forest brand) instead of sour cream. I also think that coconut oil + coconut milk would work instead of the whipping cream.

I got elana's book and Grain-Free Gourmet for christmas. Both are wonderful.

I also like Fifes book.

I'm finding that my palate is becomming much more sensitive, so certain things I'm not enjoying made with coconut flour (cookies) but liking cookies made with almond flour, LOVING muffins, quick breads chocolate cake etc made with coconut flour, but hated waffles/pancakes. Absolutely LOVE the waffles/pancakes made with almond flour. I like them better than regular waffles/pancakes.

I'm finding nut flours to be challenging and so much fun to work with!

Does anyone sprout & dehydrate their almonds before making them into flour? Wondering if that would work.

[FairyRae]

I think it would. I KNOW you can soak and dehydrate then grind any nuts/seeds into flour. If you can sprout almonds, I don't see why not! I used to sprout my own grains and then dehydrate and grind into flour as well. It's actually really easy...

HTH!

Almond flour scones - excellent for those of us who can't do eggs (yet!):

Flax egg worked perfectly (just don't follow her directions for the flax egg if you need it - it should be 1 part flax to 3 parts water!). My fav version so far has been cranberry and orange.
