We\u2019ve been using spelt as our flour of choice since noticing that
Oak Manor<\/a> makes a
\u201clight\u201d spelt<\/a>, which has been sifted to remove some of the large bran particles.\u00a0 This sifting makes it easier to use it as a replacement for white flour.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
Our family loves waffles, and for me as a sourdough aficionado (huh, or geek) I like to turn all pastry and baked goods into sourdough versions.<\/p>\n

Enter
Food and Wine\u2019s Yeasty Waffles<\/a> recipe.\u00a0 Yes, this is an excellent recipe, and one worth making.\u00a0 However, it doesn\u2019t seem to have any redeeming qualities when it comes to health.\u00a0 Thus I replaced all the all-purpose white flour with light spelt flour and added a spoonful of
sourdough<\/a> starter to the batter.\u00a0 The results were far better than the original, but with all the great qualities that made the original so good; the waffles are light and airy, crispy yet soft, and most importantly full of rich, nutty flavour and good nutrition (plus some extra fat\u2026).<\/p>\n
