Notes
- You can make your own almond flour by milling almonds in your Thermomix® or Magimix for 10 seconds / speed 10.
- I use, and recommend, Bobs Red Mill Double Acting baking powder.
- By no means am I claiming a truly original creation here, and there are many other online for you try to find your favourite version.
- This recipe is suitable to freeze cooked or uncooked.
- If you do not have a microwave, place cheese in a heat safe bowl over a simmering saucepan and stir until cheese has melted.
