Is it possible I don’t have as simple a recipe as that?

Roasted Salted Almond Butter

2.5 cups raw, unsalted almonds
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Set your oven to 300* and spread almonds on a large baking sheet.
Roast for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown, stirring 1-2x.
Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add to your food processor and process, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Process for 6-12min, continuing to scrape as needed. Once it smoothes out add the salt and process for another 1-2min until drippy.

notes: 2.5 cups [max] almonds works best with an 11 cups food processor. For a 7 cup, use 1.5 cups nuts and for a 9 cups, use 2 cups nuts. Oil should not be necessary if almonds are still warm from roasting.
