Servings: 2 cups

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or Pastry Cutter

Ingredients

  • 90 grams all purpose flour (¾ cup)
  • 50 grams almond flour (~½ cup)
  • 67 grams granulated or baker's sugar (⅓ cup)
  • 67 grams brown sugar (light or medium) (⅓ cup)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 85 grams unsalted butter, cut into 6-8 pieces (¾ cup)

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer's bowl (or just a large bowl) combine the AP flour (90g), almond flour (50g), white sugar (67g), brown sugar (67g), cinnamon (2 teaspoons), and salt (¼ teaspoon).
  • Using the paddle or a pastry cutter incorporate the butter a piece at a time until you get a cohesive but crumbly, sandy mixture.
  • Put into a plastic bag, label it (learn from my mistakes!), and save in the freezer.
