Weight of nuts

I’m sure my great-aunt eyeballed the amount of nuts - but I usually weigh the nuts before chopping them. Agree with the comments that it probably won’t make a material difference one way or the other. And, this is a pretty forgiving recipe, on the whole! Hope you enjoy it!

The way the ingredients list reads, you would be weighing out the nuts after they have been roasted and ground. Truthfully if you weigh the nuts before grinding, there should not be enough of a difference in final weight to be overly concerned. But if you choose to weigh after grinding, and find you have some left over, it can be stored in an airtight bag in the freezer for many months, ready to use next time.

I’m thinking either way will work because you are using weight, not volume, to measure the nuts. Whole or ground, they should weigh the same. Personally, I would weigh the nuts first and then chop or grind them.
