Kefir gives a lovely, light texture to these crisp einkorn scones. If you have a nut allergy, simply use more einkorn in the dough and leave out the mix-in hazelnuts. They are especially good warm from the oven, and you can enjoy this scone on its own or smother them with some homemade jam for a great breakfast.
Kefir Einkorn Scones with Cranberries and Hazelnuts
inspired by Martha Stewart
|
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. In a bowl, whisk together einkorn flour, ground hazelnuts, raw sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Cut in butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the cranberries and hazelnuts. Add in kefir and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently, 5 to 10 times. Pat into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on a baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Brush the top of the scones with a little kefir. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

Angie these scones look absolutely beautiful !!
Oh yes please! I have been dreaming about scones and my husband recently asked me to make some soon. Love these - hazelnuts and cranberries - what a wonderful combination!
These sound and look amazing – great combination of ingredients.
I am the type of person who wants to grab one of those - while still warm - and rip it open and stick my nose in it - ha ha!

Wow, love those scones, full of goodies!
These are simply perfect now when cranberries are so fresh and also for the holidays! Thanks Angie!
Angie,
Divinely beautiful! YUmmmmm xx
We were on the same wavelength this week---I made cranberry eggnog scones. But I used dried cranberries. I think I'd like the sweet/tart combo from fresh cranberries just as much!
So unique, Angie. I liked the addition of kefir in it:-)
Lovely combination Angie and they look amazing.
Amazing looking scones... Having a cup of coffee in one hand and stretching out the other to try grab one... :)
These look insanely delicious again, Angie! Cranberries with hazelnuts is such an awesome combo!

Such gorgeous little scones with big flavor! Love these!
We just cracked open a kilo of hazelnuts and I kept a few lingonberries to dry, which actually never dried, but they still look fresh and I could use them instead of the cranberries for the recipe. Cool find Angie!
I am so much into hazelnuts lately and this recipe is perfect for using them again.
Scones are such a treat, and these look so festive for the holidays. I wish I had one for my breakfast this morning.
Just like yogurt kefir gives a beautiful texture to baking! Delicious, festive scones Angie!
I saw these beautifully-made scones and I thought I haven't made scones in almost 4 years ?! *sigh* Love these festive and nutritious scones , perfect with coffee or tea .
I love that you work with kefir so much!! Great recipe, thanks for sharing! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com

Kefir is fantastic for scones and most other bakes too I reckon. These sound so good, especially with ground hazelnuts - mmm!
