About measuring almond flour
Almond flour is finely ground blanched almonds, and because the nut particles are coarser than wheat flour it is light, giving about 96 grams per US cup. It behaves very differently from wheat flour: it has no gluten, holds more fat and browns faster, so recipes are usually built specifically around it. Since a cup varies with how finely the almonds are ground and how firmly you pack it, weighing is the reliable way to get consistent macarons and cakes.
Almond flour has no gluten and lots of fat, so weigh it and follow recipes built around it.
