Hi there, This recipe got me thinking about sweet Irish Soda Breads that can seems a little similar. I haven’t had a lot of success trying to make soda bread recipes with einkorn, and thought I’d ask if you all could point me to any good resources for an Einkorn Irish soda bread that you like. ‘Would be especially nice for this particular time of year! Thank you so much for your time, help, & consideration. Happy Week!
Hi Krystal, we haven’t developed such a recipe but here are some from bloggers that I like: https://www.amodernhomestead.com/whole-grain-einkorn-irish-soda-bread/ and https://everydaydishes.com/simple-food-recipes/einkorn-irish-soda-bread/.
Can you use frozen blueberries?
Hi Rachel, I have done it with frozen blueberries and it worked fine. Just watch consistency.
The pictures of the scones cannot be from this recipe. I tried the recipe with a flour purchased from Einkorn.com. I wish I could add a picture of a dough made with Einkorn flour! The scones are dark brown! Also I needed to add more liquid. The food processor did not mix it well with the number of pulses suggested. I mixed by hand.
Hi Stefi, this recipe was made with all-purpose which we currently do not sell. If you bought flour from us, it would have been whole grain. If you made it with whole grain flour, they will come out a little different. I’ve done it and they were still great, but I probably did have to modify it along the way and it would have come out darker in color.
They look great, will have to give them a try.
These look yummy! 😋 Good flour, blueberries and tart lemon glaze sound like incredibly complimentary flavors. I had my first scones in Dublin, Ireland about 15 years ago and fell in love with the texture and the “bready” part of them had a lightly-sweetened flavor. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any in the U.S. that are even close to those since my trip. I am curious to know if anyone who has had traditional European scones thinks these Einkorn Lemon Blueberry Scones have that same taste and texture? Thanks!
Hi, would I need to make any adjustments to the flour if I use fresh ground einkorn?
Hi Vanessa, I have done it with whole grain and didn’t have to change anything. I would just make sure the consistency looks right.
Would it be possible to make the dough, shape it and then freeze these?
Hi Anna, thank you for the question. You could freeze the dough, but it might not turn out quite as nicely. If you try it, we’d love to hear how it goes!
Thanks…will give this a grandchild test! Perhaps ol grandpa will test a bite or 5 as well!.
