Notes
Helpful tips
Take the butter out at least a half hour before starting the recipe. I usually unwrap the butter and place it in the stand mixer bowl. I also cut the butter into pats so it softens faster.
Whenever I grease a pan, I put a sandwich baggie over my hand and dip it into the greasing agent. I smear it around the pan and throw the baggie away after I'm finished. This way your hand stays clean.
You can use all purpose white flour instead of spelt. They are interchangeable.
My recipe card comes with a slider on it so if you want to double the recipe, move the slider to the right position.
You can double the recipe if you make it in a 9" x 13" pan. If you do, you will need to bake it longer. Check after 55 minutes but it could go as long as 60 minutes.
