Roasting ground almonds for biscuit recipe?

Hi, I am using a recipe that requires you to roast almonds in the oven and then grind them. In my local supermarket I can buy almond meal, which is ground almonds. However I am guessing that the almonds are raw and not roasted. I was thinking of getting them and toasting the meal in a frying pan or an oven. Has anyone done this, or have any ideas on it? Buying the ground meal would be much easier for me as I could skip the grinding step. Thanks!Roasting ground almonds for biscuit recipe?
Toasting or roasting the almond meal would not work. The meal is very delicate and would probably burn. I know it's a pain, but your best bet is to toast the almonds in the oven, then grind them. Sorry.Roasting ground almonds for biscuit recipe?
Roasting really should be done in a slow 200* oven for about 2 hours. Never did the already ground kind ....I see no reason it would not work.
