Spelt biscotti with a hint of lemon, honey, and spiced with cinnamon for a perfect pair with tea.
By Maya Moscovich
Be adventurous and use any nut or dried fruit you choose. Just keep in mind that Spelt flour is more crumbly than all purpose flour due to its lower gluten, so when you slice the biscotti, use a bread knife and make sure you don’t slice too thin.
