And oh boy, homemade almond flour/meal in a bake is heaven. <br /><br />The machines I've been using are dying or dead and I've been through a few. It's time upgrade.<br /><br />Thanks for the question. Because I never thought and worked any other way, as in home ground flours have always been a part of my baking.<br /><br />Cheers and boogie boogie.The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788366493417332491.post-30121344906686245582014-03-22T11:25:00.793-04:002014-03-22T11:25:00.793-04:00Thanks for stopping by today, William.
