Ingredients
- 1 Whole raw almonds - you can purchase almonds in their shell and just remove (in the shell is usually cheaper)
- 1 Water to cover/submerge almonds
- 1 Microwave safe bowl
Instructions
- Place shelled almonds in microwave safe bowl and add enough tap water to really cover/submerge almonds well.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
- Dump out water and rinse almonds (I used a strainer for this step).
- To remove skin, gently squeeze almond between thumb and forefinger until almond slides out of skin.
- Repeat with remaining almonds.
- Allow almonds to air dry a bit before using.
- Use dry blanched almonds in recipes, to make almond meal/flour, almond paste or marzipan, or whatever your imagination can come up with!!
