Holland and Barrett for the flour I think
 
Aye, if you don’t mind using probably the most environmentally destructive type of flour. I know I keep banging on about this, but the fashion for almond flour is draining the California water table. There’s a drought there as it is. You may not care, of course, but I’m sure the firemen do.
 
What about whizzing up hazelnuts in a coffee grinder?
