Spelt Pancakes

This makes about 12 4 in pancakes

1 1/4 c. spelt ground

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. sea salt

1 egg

1 1/3 milk

mix all dry ingredients – add milk , eggs -mix together and pour onto preheated grill cook till bubbly then flip. .  * add apples, cinnamon for extra flavor.

Buttermilk Spelt Bread

* this bread recipe uses enzymes from the buttermilk to help digestion

add 4 cups of ground spelt and 1 to 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk in a bowl – mix well cover and let it sit about 6 hours.

After your 6 hours in a different large bowl add 1/4 c. warm water and 1 package of dry yeast. with 2 Tbs. of honey. let it sit until it bubbles. then add 1 tsp. sea salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1/2 cup of butter (melted and cooled so that it does not kill the yeast).   mix wet ingredients then add them to the spelt and buttermilk mix. I kneed this by hand and add extra spelt flour to the dough until it gets into a nice firm dough ball . not too dry , not too sticky.  *** you can add an egg to help keep the bread to not be so crumbly

Let the dough rise covered in a cloth. When ready , separate  dough into 2 balls and roll them into loaves. place in greased bread pans until they rise again.( I cover them)  bake at 350 degrees until brown                         makes 2 loaves
