Kefir Scones with Goji Berries and Beef Tallow


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2019 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A foolproof kefir scone recipe that's made with spelt, beef tallow, goji berries and mildly sweetened with coconut sugar. They are definitely a crowd pleaser and a great healthy tea time treat! Kefir has a natural tart and tangy flavour because it contains lactic acid bacteria, that's said to support digestive health and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestines, but buttermilk or yoghurt is just as good for the recipe.

  • 250 g Refined spelt flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • A large pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Coconut sugar
  • 100 g Beef tallow (or leaf lard)
  • 50 g Dried goji berries
  • 120 ml Kefir
  • 1 tbsp Black sesame seeds
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and coconut sugar in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. Add in beef tallow and rub into flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in goji berries.
  3. Make a well in centre. Add in kefir and stir with a fork until dough just comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Use hands to shape into an 18cm round.
  4. Use a sharp knife to score into 8 wedges. Brush with extra kefir. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

I love the combination of ingredients in these scones. I've never used goji berries, and using the lard with them sounds interesting. I'm intrigued and will try them. Lovely photos, too.

The combination of ingredients in these sounds really interesting. I bet the lard gives them a fantastic texture.

Oh these scones are wonderful Angies, love the kefir and goji, and the tallow must make them so moist.

I wish I had one for my breakfast, Angie! The berries and seeds on top sound delicious. I've never baked with beef tallow but it must give them a wonderful, flaky texture.

I sometimes use yogurt in my bakes (not that I bake THAT often). Next time I will try kefir. Your scones look amazing with all the healthy ingredients.

Beautiful scones! I have never used or even seen beef tallow... sounds interesting!

Very trendy ingredients! I haven't tried gogi berries, but we love kefir. I thought beef tallow would be less good for you than other forms of fat.
