Would almond flour work as a good replacement for the soy flour?

In this recipe no because almond flour is too sticky.You have to be able to roll these out like my cinnamon buns

Darn!  I bought soy flour once years ago.  Tried it in one recipe and through away the rest. Do the other ingredients cover up the soy flavor very well?

[umpa]

If the temperature is too high it turns bitter.But for items like scones and cinnamon rolls its a must.I put a few recipes in the Fat to Skinny Bakery because Sherripies son has nut allergies.The nut flours were not a option.I rarely use it but when I do I lighten it up to reduce the carb count with coconut,oat fiber or almond flour.For items that have to be rolled out that are sticky you need soy.
