Title: Not as happy as I wanted to be
Review: For our inaugural attempt at baking with almond meal, we used our old standby scone recipe, which results in 8 delicious but massively carby scones, light and fluffy.Substituting almond meal 1:1 (which was a total guess because there were no instructions on the bag about how to substitute) for the flour, we ended up with a very runny-ish dough. I know it won't get as dough-like as wheat flour, but this was almost like cooked oatmeal, it was so runny. So we ended up doubling the amount of flour, therefore, 2:1 ratio to regular flour, and the scones came out (a) crumbly and (b) salty. I did add the regular amount of sugar to my recipe but it was apparently not enough to counteract the saltiness of the almonds. Each of us choked down one scone with a lot of milk, and five more were tossed in the back yard for the birds.We will next attempt to make oatmeal-raisin cookies with it, and if that's as bad a fail, then we will not even bother with this product again.
