Day 78: More Spelt in Our Food

I tried out the spelt again. Someone kindly sent me Dreena Burton's Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. She mentioned that she had use spelt instead of the flour called for in the recipe. So I did too but I didn't add the extra spelt flour as she recommended, and I suppose I should have because they didn't hold together too well. I also left out the molasses because we don't have that here. I only used ½ dl maple syrup (I couldn't make myself use more, it's so expensive) and ½ dl of regular syrup. We didn't notice the maple syrup, so I'll try just regular syrup next time and leave out the sugar. I made 8 cookies but they were so big that I'll try making 16 next time.

I made cinnamon raisin bread. I substituted 1 dl of spelt flour for the regular flour and next time I'll try 2 dl. Taking the bread out 5 minutes early wasn't enough because it was a bit burnt on top.

I need to get outside more!
