🍲 Ingredients
Almond Flour – Almond flour is naturally gluten-free and is essentially ground almonds. It may also go by the name “almond meal” and has a different consistency than regular, all-purpose flour. Almond flour is essential in this recipe to give a delicious almond flavor. Almond Extract – Almond extract is made from almonds which are cold pressed and combined with alcohol and water. However, most almond extract you’ll find is made of synthetic ingredients. It isn’t as good as the natural stuff, but it’ll do the job. Phyllo – Phyllo is a thin unleavened dough that’s used for pastries in many Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines. It gets crunchy when baked and you can usually find it in the freezer section of your grocery store near the pie crust.
