Notes
If making your own almond meal, grind whole almonds in a high-powered blender or food processor until you have 11/2 cups. If you want, you can leave some chunks of almonds for texture instead of finely grounding.[br] In my experience, things I make with almond meal tend to burn more quickly on the edges, so I baked mine for 20 minutes and then turned off the oven and let them bake a little longer to help cook the middle.
