Nut flours in baking

I have a homemade nut flours (almond, walnut, pecan) that I want to use in baking. How do you use them in bread, cakes, and cookies? Is there a preferred ratio of nut flour to white or bread flour?

    Here's a great reference book that uses nut flours to replace wheat. It's also dairy free, but you can ignore those substitutions... http://www.amazon.com/Fabulous-Flourl...

    As a low carber, I use almond flour mixed with melted butter and flavorings as a crust for some pies. Some folks make almond flour cookies without other flours, pancakes, muffins. I also use it mixed with chopped nuts as a topping for cobblers.

        If you google up almond or nut flour and low carb together, you can find a lot of stuff some good low carb cooks have come up with.
