Default Grinding Almonds for use as flour in recipes

I'm not sure it counts as flour since I've always called the result
"ground almonds," but I just use my food processor with the steel blade.
It doesn't turn to almond butter unless I add oil. To make something
with the powdery feel of flour, I'd have to figure out a way to remove oil.


Could you give an example of a recipe you're making that calls for
almond flour? I've always used ground almonds as an ingredient in cakes
and cookies where they substitute for eggs or butter (for vegans or
people who are allergic). In those recipes, whole wheat flour is
another ingredient. I'm guessing you're using the ground almonds in a
recipe for low or no carbs so there's no wheat flour. I'm curious how
this works.
