Description

East End Ground Almonds 1 kg: finely milled almonds for baking and traditional sweets

Ground almonds are simply almonds milled into a fine, soft meal, and they are a workhorse of both Western baking and South Asian sweet making. East End offer them in a 1 kg pack, a single large retail bag that keeps regular bakers and busy kitchens well supplied. They add moisture, a tender crumb and a mild sweet nuttiness wherever they are used.

Key Features

• Finely milled almond meal that folds smoothly into batters and doughs
• Adds a moist, tender texture to cakes, tarts and biscuits
• Essential for frangipane, macarons, almond sponge and marzipan
• A key ingredient in barfi and other South Asian sweets
• Large 1 kg pack that suits keen bakers and catering kitchens

Cooking and Uses: Use ground almonds in frangipane for tarts, in Bakewell style bakes, and in gluten conscious sponges in place of some flour, always checking your own recipe. In South Asian cooking they thicken and enrich sweets such as barfi and halwa. Fold them in gently and store any surplus carefully, as they are rich in natural oils. Storage: keep in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, away from heat and strong smells, and use within the date on the pack. Allergens: almonds are a tree nut and a named allergen. The product may also be handled where other nuts, sesame and further allergens are present. For full allergen and dietary information, always refer to the product packaging.
