Hi All,

I am dying for some decent Spelt flour recipes. I'd love some cookies, cakes, muffins, etc. Also, any tips and help with ingredient exchanges using Spelt would be so helpful to me.

Thanks, Star

Spelt Recipes

Hi,

I've posted a banana bread recipe in the recipe section, it's under bread and muffins etc. It's very good, and is also dairy free.

There's a spelt recipe here for Christmas Cake, I haven't tried it, but I trust the source. Dan Lepard is a fine baker.

Black Christmas Cake

If you can get white spelt flour (available from Doves Farm in the UK) you can make very good pizza dough.

I'll try and persuade DH to give me his spelt bread recipe. It's great.

This excellent moist cake recipe is good for snacks, packing in lunchboxes, and even breakfast on the run.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups peeled, diced apples
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups white (not whole)spelt or regular white flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup safflower oil
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, 2 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon; set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups white sugar, oil, apple juice, vanilla, and eggs. Beat at high speed until smooth. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in chopped walnuts and apple mixture.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55 to 60 minutes, or until cake is firm, well browned, and begins to pull away from pan edges. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serves 8-10

you may replace the apple with grated carrots, comes out great!
