Question

What blessing is recited over a pastry made from spelt flour that contains 1/2 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of water?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

If the pastry is thin and crispy, the blessing is "Borei Minei Mezonot." However, if the pastry is soft, according to the Sephardic custom, one recites "Mezonot" because the oil is noticeable. According to the Ashkenazi custom, a little more oil should be added so that its amount is more than the water, and then the blessing "Borei Minei Mezonot" is recited.
