Einkorn flour from Bluebird Grains has an old-world richness — naturally sweet, nutty, and aromatic — that gives scones a depth you can’t get from modern white flour. Paired with our organic freeze-dried cherries, which deliver concentrated sweet-tart flavor without added sugar, you end up with a scone that’s bold, flavorful, and genuinely delicious.

No extra sugar needed to cover for bland flour. This recipe is easy to make and, besides the einkorn flour and freeze-dried organic cherries from Chelan Ranch, uses simple baking staples like butter and sour cream. It’s delicious for a holiday breakfast or brunch, and equally perfect enjoyed all by itself with a cup of tea in the afternoon. And there’s no guilt attached — without white flour or heavy amounts of sugar, these scones have far fewer empty calories yet deliver incredible flavor.

A food processor makes cutting the butter and freeze-dried cherries with the flour easier, creating a mixture that resembles coarse crumbs.

The sour cream and egg mixture adds extra moisture to the dough, giving these scones a soft, fluffy texture that many classic scone recipes lack.

There’s no better way to ease into the holiday baking season than with a simple recipe that guarantees both success and delicious reward. These einkorn cherry scones come together quickly, fill the kitchen with cozy aromas, and deliver bakery-worthy flavor with minimal effort. It’s the perfect bake to kick off the season feeling confident, inspired, and ready for all the festive treats to come.
