Almond flour or ground almonds?
In the UK, almond flour is sold as ground almonds. Almond meal, made with the skins on, is coarser and gives a more rustic texture.
Not a 1-to-1 swap
Almond flour has no gluten and lots of fat, so it can't directly replace wheat flour in most recipes. Use recipes written for it.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml), spooned in, based on published baking ingredient-weight charts. Weighing will always be more accurate than any cup.
