Almond meal and almond paste are made from ground sweet
almonds, after the extraction of
almond oil. It is similar to
marzipan, but contains less sugar. They are used in
pastry and confectionery — in the manufacture of almond
macaroons and other sweet pastries, in
cake and pie filling. It's one of the main components of the Swedish traditional dessert
semla, as well as the
bear claw pastry. In France almond meal is called
frangipane and is an important ingredient in the traditional Galette des Rois cake.
