Can I use almond flour instead off the nuts. If so how much flour should I use to replace the nuts 1 1/4 cups. Many thanks

Hi Jenny, I haven’t tried making it with almond flour yet, but I think it can work. It’s worth a try anyway!
I would try 1 1/4 Almond flour with 1 cup sugar first but same amounts will probably work as well. This is a pretty forgiving recipe. If you find there’s too much sugar, add more nuts or the other way around.

The nuts in the picture are actually blanched almonds, not pine nuts. I guess I need to work on my photography skills ??
