Notes

  1. You can experiment with different flours, but mixing spelt and rye flour is what we prefer. 
  2. My mom always pours lemon juice on baking soda, and that's what I usually do too (cause I love watching the fizzing explosion.) :) 
  3. Adding dark chocolate chips or chunks will be a nice touch for sure.
