Notes
* A regular egg will also work. I using an egg omit the 3 tbsp of water.
** Spelt or wholemeal spelt flour will also work. I haven't tried any other flours/combination of flours to make this recipe, so if you decided to use something else please do so at your own risk. Any small changes can impact the outcomes of a recipe.
