רכיבים
- 3 ½ כוסות קמח תופח - (note 1) + 1/4 cup to work the dough
- 1 ½ כוסות Dairy-Free Kefir - (הערה 2)
- 15 תמרי מג'הול - soaked, drained, chopped (note 3)
אופציונלי
- ⅓ גָבִיעַ Chopped Walnuts - (הערה 4)
- 2 כפות סוכר קוקוס - (הערה 5)
- 1 כפית תמצית וניל
הוראות
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (230°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with oil spray. Set aside.
- Place pitted medjool dates – or any date variety – in a glass bowl. Pour boiled water on top. Soak for 5 minutes. Drain. Place on a chopping board and chop into pieces. It will look mushy and sticky, that's ok.
- Add self-rising flour to a large mixing bowl, add the chopped dates, kefir, and use a rubber spatula to stir and form a moist sticky scone dough. It will form lumps of dough first. At this stage, knead the dough to form a dough ball. If too sticky, add a bit more flour. If too dry, add a bit more cream. The dough should be soft, lightly sticky, and consistent.
- If you like, flavor the dough, add 2 tablespoons of sugar for sweeter scones, or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can also stir chopped nuts now, and knead to incorporate.
- Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on it. Sprinkle a bit more flour on top and roll the dough with a rolling pin into about a 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch (from 1.2 cm to 2cm) thick shape, and use a 3.5-inch (9 cm) round cookie cutter to cut out round shapes.
- Gather the leftover dough, reform a dough ball, roll it again, and cut out more scones. I made 7 scones.
- Place each scone on the prepared baking sheet, leaving them two inches apart. They rise in the oven.
- Brush the top with kefir.
- Bake the scones for 11-14 minutes at 425°F (230°C) until golden brown on top.
הערות
הערה 1: You can make self-rising flour at home. One cup of self-rising flour is equivalent to 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my gluten-free converter, but don’t forget the baking powder.
הערה 2: I bake with dairy-free kefir, made of coconut milk, but any kefir will work in the recipe. If you use Greek-style yogurt or any yogurt thicker than kefir, you will need 2 cups of Greek-style yogurt for the amount of flour listed in this recipe. If you swap kefir for a liquid with similar consistency, like thin liquid yogurt or canned coconut milk, the flour ratio should be very similar. If you do a swap, and you are unsure, start with 1/2 cup less self-rising flour, add extra gradually until it forms a dough.
הערות 3: Any date variety works.
הערות 4: Or chopped pecans, almonds, or other dried fruits like figs.
הערות 5: I found the scones sweet enough with dates, but feel free to add a bit of sugar for a sweeter dough.
Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15 °C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.
אחסון: You can store the scones in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 1 month in Ziploc bags and thaw them at room temperature the day before serving.

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe. Here’s how to pick and swap them.

- קמח תופח – This is the base of the scone and provides the structure. It already includes leavening agents, which is what makes the scones rise and become fluffy. I’ve included a note on how to make your own if you only have all-purpose flour.
- Dairy-Free Kefir – This is the main liquid and binder. Its acidity reacts with the leavening in the flour to create a very light, fluffy scone. It also adds a nice, subtle tang. You can also use canned coconut milk (shaken well) or a thin plant-based yogurt.
- תמרי מג'הול – These provide all the sweetness for the scone, along with a lovely soft, chewy texture. Soaking them makes them easy to chop and mix in. Any date variety works, or you could even use other dried fruits like figs or apricots.

Let me share a few more tips for perfect scones.
- Kefir Alternatives – The kefir really helps make these scones fluffy. If you don’t have it, canned coconut milk is a great plant-based swap because it has a similar consistency. If you use it, shake the can very well before opening, as the cream and liquid often separate. You’ll want to stir them together first. You might also need a little less flour, so I recommend starting with 3 cups and only adding more if the dough is too sticky.
- Changing Kefir – You can use different types of plant-based kefir, like coconut-based or cashew-based. Each one will give the scones a slightly different flavor. If you’re not strictly dairy-free, traditional dairy kefir also works perfectly.

Thanks again for another delicious recepie ,i love that your recepies have few ings and easy to make !
I am so happy to have you here baking my recipes! thank you
Thank you for this recipe which I have made several times. As I do not eat dairy, I use oat milk with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. When I usethe 15 dates as stated in the recipe, I find it too sweet so the last time I used just a quarter cup of date paste and blended that in, and it was perfect for me.
תודה על המשוב שלך!
Great recipe! thanks for sharing it! I used raisins instead of dates.
That sounds so good with raisins too! thanks for the lovely feedback.
I love your site and I thoroughly intend on baking these! But I do have a question..could almond flour be used instead? why or why not? Thanks so much!
No, you can never swap flour for almond flour in my recipes. Almond flour is not technically a flour, it’s basically grounded almonds. It means it has no starch to bind, and you need a recipe purely develop for this ingredient to work.
Just made the scones. Followed the recipe but could not get the kefir, so used soy with vanille flavour. Used extra flour as it kept a bit sticky. Also added walnuts. Forget the bit on top, so not that shiny, but the taste is great. Added it to my list of favorites!
Kefir is thicker than plant-based milk, that’s why your dough get stickier. But you didn’t reat adding more flour to adjust the consistency. I am so happy you loved them, thanks again for trying my recipes.
Just made them today for breakfast, love how easy it is and that you only need a few ingredients. They did not rise so nicely for me (I used ap flour and baking powder), but they do taste fabulous
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Self-rising flour blends vary from 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per cup of flour to 2 teaspoon. It means you can up the baking powder to 2 teaspoon/cup of flour when you make your own, if you noticed that your scones are not as fluffy as you love. Also make sure you use fresh baking powder as the power decrease with time.
Can you blend the dates after soaking, before you add them to the mix? I don’t want chunks of dates in the scones, but would prefer just to have the flavor of the dates in the scones.
It will be a very different recipe, a new ratio of flour since this process adds lots of moisture from the blended dates.
