These crackers are unique rolled spelt crackers with cheesy and nutty flavours. They go well with a yogurt dip and delicious with soups too. Rolled spelt can be replaced with old-fashioned rolled oats.
Rolled Spelt Flakes Cheddar Crackers
adapted from Food and WineCracker | Egg Wash |

- Combine rolled spelt flakes and milk in a bowl. Let stand 5 minutes until rolled spelt flakes soften slightly.
- Whisk together refined spelt flour, baking powder and salt until blended. With your fingers, rub in cheese and cold butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs
- Add the egg into the softened spelt flakes, then add into the cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Scrape the dough onto a large sheet of plastic film and gently knead a few times until thoroughly blended. Pat into a round and wrap it up. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Work with half of dough at a time. On a lightly floured work surface, cover the dough with a plastic film. Roll out to 1/8-inch / 3 mm thick. Quickly cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares or stamp out different shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheets. Chill until the rounds are firm, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Whisk the egg yolk and milk together. Lightly brush the crackers with the egg wash. Bake for about 15 minutes until the crackers are golden brown.

What a lovely and unique cracker recipe! I would love to have this for lunch tomorrow, along with a thick wedge of cheese. Thank you for sharing! Now off to dream delicious dreams!
Cool, I am about to post a cracker recipe on my blog as well! These look awesome :-)
Bookmarked this one! The crackers look great.
Lovely crackers! Will try them with mushroom cream soup. Thanks for sharing dear :)
I like these healthy crackers, rolled oats are more likely to be found in my kitchen cupboard than rolled flakes spelt...I love the idea of serving it with a dip... a ripe cheese is good too!!!
So tempting! Those pretty crackers must be addictive.
Cheers,
Rosa
These crackers are so flavoursome :D
I'm sure with soup they would be unbeatable!
Cheers

Good cracker recipe Angie. Don't ask me what a cracker tastes like! I never had one before.
The preparation is indeed interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
I bet these crackers are super addictive!
I love all the creative things you do with spelt!! You need a line of products....
You come up with such creative recipes. Alongside something would be nice but I could see I'd need to make a lot of these, they look amazng!
You had a lot of amazing recipe with spelt ingredients,just like this one looks crunchy-lycious :)
Those look so crunchy and delicious... I bet they would go good with so many things..... yum!!!
I've never made homemade crackers, I love these. They look so warm and delicious and sound perfect for hors d'oeuvres.
What a fun & delicious recipe! They look so good with that yogurt sauce. I love it when something so tasty can be healthy, too.
These look delicious Angie! I love the idea of a cracker with some rustic texture too rather than perfectly flat. May I ask why you've chosen Spelt? A question completely out of personal curiousity. I noted most of your recent recipes use Spelt, and I wondered if you had a certain reason for that over other grain flours. Maybe since I'm gluten free I'm always interested in people's choice of grains! Another beautiful recipe from you!
Beautiful presentation, these look gorgeous, crumbly & moreish!!!
Such a delicious crackers , Angie ! Cheese makes everything - in my opinion :D - yummy !
What a simple and delicious pieces of crackers you got there. Have a wonderful weekend ahead, Angie. :)

I repinned this recipe on Pintrest - I can't wait to try to make these. Ive never made crackers before or really worked with spelt flour/flakes.
I'd love these with a dip, Angie. I think homemade crackers are fabulous.

What a great snack idea! i love cheese crackers!
I love a good homemade cracker. The nutty flavor to these sounds particularly appealing.
These look amazing, Angie, and so healthy! I love the texture they have!
Hi Angies, I have never tried spelt flour before but I heard that it is easier to digest than wheat. I'd would love to try this savoury cookies. :)
Hi Angie, this crackers look excellent. But don't think I can find spelt flour in Malaysia, have to go across Singapore to find. Anyway I'm in South, so S'pore is just across the bridge only.LOL
Have a nice weekend.
I have yet to make homemade crackers, but really need to. I recently bought my first bag of spelt flour and an looking forward to using it!
ils sont bons à croquer, j'adore
bonne journée
Love the use of spelt flour in so many different ways in your blog recently :)Great texture in these and they look delicious!!
Angie, think I'll make them square - see if I can't convert some people I know who are addicted to the little bright orange cheese crackers that glow in the dark!
Lindas y crocantes me encantan,hugs,hugs.
I've never made homemade crackers but now is a good time to start. Lovely recipe and delicious photos.
These crackers look uber crisp and delicious! The spelt flakes are something I've never seen, but I'll be sure to look out for them! I'd love to tyry these crackers!

You bake the most interesting crackers, looks so crispy and bet they are delicious!
@Toni @ Boulder Locavore
Toni, spelt is the grain I can easily find over here and it's delicious. I have no problem with wheat, but spelt is easier to digest.
WOW, wanna have some with my soup :D
XoXo

These look so delicious and perfectly crispy!
So you actually do adapt recipes from American sources...such as Food and Wine which I love so much. I have their books for the last 10yrs series!
Of course, the adaptation had to come with the famous 'spelt' flour that you are so famous with. I could just see a cookbook from you on SPELT flour recipes. Beautiful, crunchy, yummy crackers with the cheddar cheese, and the egg wash on the top...brilliant:)
it's already so tempting when you say cheesy flavours, i think i will love these!!
crackers look wonderful
I see that you you use spelt flour a lot. They look quite appealing and tasty with cheese flavor.
I have never baked with spelt…I think it’s time to change that! These look delicious!
Beautiful pictures Angie
I love crackers and these sound like amazing ones
Another great dinkel recipe. Loving i!
Look at those cute crackers, I love them!!!! I want one right now, and dip in yogurt....don't mind if I do! :-) Hugs, Terra
These look fab! I've never used spelt flakes before!
It's so great that you introduce us to so many spelt recipes. We've still never used it, but we should give it a try.
