Hi there
This is a question for any Aussies on this site mostly, but I'll happily take advice from anyone that may have the answer :-D Does anyone know where you can buy Almond Flour in Australia?? I can get my hands on as much blanched Almond Meal as I'd like but most organics stores think I'm asking for a product that doesn't exist when I ask them for Almond Flour! I always get lead back to the Almond Meal!
I'm in Sydney, any hints??
Cheers
Gabriella

Hi Gabriella
I haven't been able to find it either. I usually buy good ingredients online through Santos Trading at Byron and they don't have it. I live on the Mid North Coast and can't get it locally. I do like the almond meal but would be nice to try the almond flour. Let me know how you go.
Kind regards

Hi Linda
I hadn't seen this reply my apologies! No I still haven't found it here which is so annoying. Plenty of coconut flour! I have had success using almond flour but only for cakes, not so unfortunately with pancakes or biscuits, breads etc. Almond meal works particularly well with Elana's passover torte, very dense and divine.
I think a lot of the issue with the way things turn out is the fat / oil content in the meal as opposed to flour. I'll have to keep looking for the almond flour and experimenting in the meantime!
Cheers

Hi I'm on the Mid North Coast too. I haven't been able to find almond flour here either. I bought some chestnut flour from Simon Johnson last week. I seived my almond 'flour' and replaced a third of it with the chestnut flour ( yes real flour not meal) and made Elana's pastry recipe from the book. It was absolutely delicious with perfect texture. The only negative was that it had a slightly darker colour so it looked like it would taste overcooked. It didn't though. Delicious. I bought the chestnut from Simon Johnson's in Pyrmont, Sydney.
