Strawberry, Black Wheat & Spelt Biscuits

by Hermione Blackshaw 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.

Makes 30 Biscuits

Ingredients

175g Black Wheat Flour
75g Toasted Spelt Flakes (or Rolled Oats)
100g Caster Sugar
150g Butter (I use vegan butter)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
4 Strawberries

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
Mix all the biscuit ingredients together to form a dough.
Roll out into balls using one tablespoon of mixture at a time then place onto the baking parchment.
Using your thumb or index finger press down lightly on the biscuit balls to flatten them.
Slice the strawberries into eight pieces lengthwise from the bottom of the strawberry through the top.
Place a slice of strawberry on top of each biscuit.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
