      Oh these sound wonderful, can't wait to make them - esp with sweet potatoes in season now.

      The only problem I had with these is I ate most of them before the rest of my family got a chance to enjoy them....Note: you do not have to like sweet potatoes to enjoy these. I also used ground flax for 1/2 cup of the spelt flour. Especially tasty with the local made apple butter.

      Karen, I guess you'll have to make another batch! Glad you enjoyed them so much.

      These were amazing and sooooo easy to make. Do you know how many calories are in each biscuit?

      Ben, as you can see in the recipe, this calls for nondairy milk. Hopefully there are some varieties that are OK for you — not sure if you're allergic to actual milk as well as nut milks or soy milk, but if so, rice milk and hemp milk are allergy-friendly.

      Can I sub all purpose flour for spelt flour?

      Sure. Or whole wheat pastry flour. Enjoy!

      I love these biscuits but have recently been advised by my health care practitioner to avoid gluten. What kind of modifications would I need to make in order to substitute a blend of gluten-free flours for the spelt?
