At the top of the list, because it is in almost all the recipes is almond flour. I have never used almond flour before. I am curious on the flavor, but worried about the price. After a quick Google of shopping prices shows that the average price is about $5 for 10 ounces. It will take more than half the package to make one batch and there are so many recipes to try.
So I decided to ask myself what exactly almond flour is anyway.. The answer is simple, ground up almonds. Ground skinless blanched almonds is called almond flour. Leave the skins on for almond meal. From everything I have read the two are interchangeable. You simply add the nuts to a food processor or blender and grind into meal. Just be careful not to go to far because you will have almond butter, which is really tasty, but will not make good crackers
Other seeds and nuts that are on my shopping list are, sunflower seeds, ground flax meal, and sesame seeds. I will need an assortment of herbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil.
Some recipes, like Grain Free Almond Crackers, from Caveman Food or Sunflower Seed Crackers from Mark's Daily Apple are simple. Others like Savory Herb Crackers from What I Crave or from Fit Rich Woman are a bit more complicated.
Now that the heat wave in the Northeast has broke, I can put the oven on and try them all!
