Grinding Nuts

A food processor can make short work of grinding nuts, but if you're not careful you can end up with nut butter instead of ground nuts. To avoid this, toss the nuts with 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour from the recipe. This will absorb some of the nut oil and help keep the nuts moving freely in the processor. Also, pulse the processor on and off to help prevent overprocessing.
