Notes
Measurement Note:
If you want to be really precise, use a scale and measure to the gram. You'll notice that this recipe calls for equal quantities of butter, sugar, eggs, and almond flour.
The equivalent standard measurements will not be exactly 100 grams. 1 stick of butter is slightly more than that, 2 eggs will vary in weight, etc. For the majority of uses, this is totally okay! Frangipane turns out delicious regardless. For ease, feel free to just use the standard measurements if you don't want to stress about a few grams of eggs and trying to separate them, etc.
If your mixture turns out a little too loose, simply refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Sometimes I weigh exactly to the gram, and sometimes I don't stress and just go with measurements. Where I do feel like it's really important to weigh the measurements exactly would be if you were multiplying the recipe. At that point, the small discrepancies add up a bit and it would be best to measure by weigh to the gram.
