Strawberry, Black Wheat & Spelt Biscuits

July 04, 2023

These delectable biscuits are a unique and satisfying treat, combining the sweetness of strawberries with the nutty flavours of black wheat and spelt. Our black wheat flour is milled from Blacksmith variety wheat bred by and grown for Owen Davies in Lincolnshire and stone-milled in small batches on the Hodmedod mill in Suffolk. Black wheat flour adds a wholesome and nutty flavour and beautiful colour to baking.

This wonderful recipe was created for us by Hermione Blackshaw and received the much-coveted seal of approval from her children. For more delectable recipes from Hermione sign up to her weekly Grow, Gather and Feast Substack newsletter.
