Ingredients
- 2 cups einkorn flour
- 1/4 cup sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp cream or half and half
- 1 cup apples diced
Instructions
- Place butter in the freezer for 10-15 minutes if not already frozen. Preheat oven to 400F.
- Dice apples and combine einkorn flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or food processor, until the flour mixture resembles course crumbs.
- Add sourdough starter, vanilla, cream, and apples and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands just until combined. Don't overhandle the dough, because you want to keep it as cold as possible.
- Turn dough out on counter or directly onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Gently shape into a 3/4 inch thick circle using a rolling pin or your hands.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles and bake for 20-25 minutes until light golden brown. To discourage spreading, bake the scones in the circle without taking the triangles apart.
- Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
