I'm running low on Nairns mixed berries oat biscuits (and no chance to top it up until Saturday), so I baked cookies myself yesterday - only ingredients were honey, sunflower oil, baking powder & organic spelt flour.
Unfortunately they just taste just too good and I already ate half of them... lol

that's easy:
mix: - 200g spelt flour
- 100g honey
- 100ml sunflower oil
- tablespoon of baking powder
Then form round cookies, put on a greasy baking tray and bake for 12-15 min on 190 degrees in the oven  -------------------------------------------

I'll come round and eat the other half, thus sparing you from the temptation.

I have no idea - Wholegrain Spelt Flour it says in the packaging - let me google it...
edit: ah, google says: http://www.pacificbakery.com/spelt.htm
| More Than Superior Taste
Spelt is more than just a nutritious product. The whole grain flour is the perfect answer for those people who want to eat good, tasty whole grain products. Organic, unbleached spelt flour is the same grain with most of the bran (fiber) removed, and nothing added.
Ancient Grain With Modern Day Appeal
Not to be confused with oats or wheat, spelt is a member of the same grain family but is an entirely different species. It is one of the original seven grains mentioned in the Bible. This 9000 year old grain originated in the Fertile Crescent and over the centuries found its way throughout Europe where it remained a very popular grain for hundreds of years. To Germans it is their beloved "Dinkel" and is now found in a wide variety of foods and beverages from bread to beer. To Italians it is called "Farro" and is found in gourmet soups, pizza crusts, breads and cakes.
Delicate Kernel Is The Secret
The secret to spelt's mild flavor and superior performance can be attributed to the tough outer hull protecting the spelt kernel. Unlike common wheat which loses its hull when harvested, spelt kernels have to be transported to a custom processing center to dehull and clean the grain. It is believed that the impervious outer hull allows for the development of a more delicate, water soluble kernel. It also protects the grain from pollutants and insects and enhances the retention of the nutrients in the kernel and improves freshness.
Nutrition Value
Spelt's uniqueness is also derived from its genetic makeup and nutrition profile. Spelt has high water solubility, so the nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. Spelt contains special carbohydrates which are an important factor in blood clotting and stimulating the body's immune system. It is also a superb fiber resource and has large amounts of B-complex vitamins. Total protein content is from 10 to 25% greater than the common varieties of commercial wheat
