To make almond flour from almonds at home, you will need a food processor or a high-powered blender. Here's the basic method:
Start by purchasing raw, unsalted almonds. You can also use blanched almonds, but they will produce a slightly lighter-colored flour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the almonds out on a baking sheet. Roast the almonds for 8-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly golden brown.
Allow the almonds to cool completely.
Once cooled, put the almonds in a food processor or high-powered blender, and pulse until the almonds turn into a fine powder. Be careful not to over-process, as this can cause the almonds to release their oils and turn into almond butter.
Once the desired consistency is reached, you may want to sift the flour to remove any large pieces or chunks.
Store your homemade almond flour in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
Note: if you are looking for a super fine flour, you may want to sift the flour after processing, or even process it a second time.
