Here’s a non-government health warning: don’t use Spelt flour to make pancakes. MacGluten, the Dekaydence chef, tells me that everyone knows that Spelt flour is the flour for the bbc (bread, biscuits and cakes). I should’ve guessed. Despite the addition of honey and brandy, the mixture had no will to rise; the spelt pancake clung to the base of the hot crepe pan – moribund, with no vitality, no purpose. Not like last year’s ’strong’ flour pancakes which soared like a prima ballerina. Oh hum, the Spelties seem happy lying around in my tum. Nevertheless, should want a recipe for Spelt bread . . .
