Spelt flour is similar to wheat & truer to its “original form,” so people tend to be less sensitive to it. I’m sure you could use AP flour in this as well, just add a little bit less initially.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups spelt flour                                         
• 5 Tbsp butter, cold
• 1 Tbsp baking powder                                            
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup buttermilk                                                      
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cup grated cheddar, or combo of cheddar & cooked chopped bacon

Don’t have buttermilk? Add 1 Tbsp vinegar with the milk.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder & salt. Cut in butter (I just use my fingers). Lightly mix in cheese (& bacon if using, highly recommended). Mix in buttermilk, just til wet. Drop on greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
