Almond meal or flour is prepared as follows:
Blanch 1 pound of almonds; dry and pass through grinder, or pound in
mortar until powdered. Place in a muslin bag and immerse in a pan of
water acidulated with vinegar to remove sugar; allow to stand 15
minutes. Squeeze dry and place in a warm (not hot) oven to remove all
moisture. Grind or pound once more. Almond flour does not keep well;
it must be made in small quantities and kept in a glass jar in a cool
place.
