About Spelt Flour
An ancient wheat relative with a mild, nutty, gently sweet flavour. Contains gluten (not suitable for coeliacs), though the gluten is more fragile and breaks down if over-kneaded.
Why the Weight Per Cup Varies
Spelt flour weighs slightly less than plain wheat flour per cup — 110g — due to coarser, less uniform milling, and it absorbs somewhat less liquid than modern wheat.
Names in Different Countries
Available as white (refined) or wholegrain spelt flour.
Common Recipe Uses
Spelt bread, muffins, pancakes, pastry.
Substitutions
Substitutes 1:1 for plain flour in most recipes; hold back a little liquid since spelt absorbs less.
