• 200 g sifted spelt flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 100 g coconut palm sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 4 tbsp oil
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 2 Eggs

Instructions

1. 1.

   Mix spelt flour with baking powder and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Add coconut palm sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, oil, and baking powder; knead into a smooth dough. If needed, incorporate more flour or warm milk until desired consistency is reached. Let the dough rest for 1 hour in a warm place.

2. 2.

   On a floured surface, knead the dough, divide it into pieces, and shape them into balls by hand. Fill a piping bag with strawberry jam and insert it into each dough ball. Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 170°C. Gently drop the balls into the hot fat and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

3. 3.

   Remove the spelt fritters with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
