Instructions:

Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and line a 9x9-inch 23x23 cm baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little extra on the sides to make it easy to take off


1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and almond flour should all be put into a food processor
