The light spelt flour is everything you would expect; it produces moist, delicate, light pastries that melt in the mouth. Spelt flour is an ancient grain which has been cultivated for centuries. It is a good alternative for people who cannot tolerate wheat but it does contain gluten. Makes approximately 24 rugelach.
