[Sca-cooks] SOP/ measurement

[Terry Decker]

One cup of slivered almonds weighs 112 grams or 4 ounces, so 12 ounces of 
meal.  If you can't weigh it, I would estimate 1 to 1 1/2 cups almond meal. 
I would add 1 cup to the ingredients then slowly add from the other 1/2 cup 
until the dough reached what I thought was the right consistency.  Tricky, 
but doable.
