I hope you'll enjoy following along with Lora and myself in 2017. The book also called for creaming cold butter (which is basically impossible, because by the time you are able to cream it, it's warmed up - otherwise all you have are crumbles, not creaminess), so I've adapted that part of the recipe, as well. I used raisins instead of currants and brown sugar in stead of coconut sugar (because I didn't figure those would change the integrity of the recipe), but I kept the liquid and flour ratios the same. The recipe I'm sharing today comes from one such source, The Einkorn Cookbook, which I found on Amazon. ![]() Hopefully I'll be able to create and substitute the einkorn flour when creating or adapting recipes by the time this year-long experiment concludes. ![]() Since I don't yet know much about the "how" of using einkorn flour in recipes, I'll be using cookbooks and online sources as a guide and starting point-especially at the start. And a huge thanks to for supplying us with the einkorn we'll be using in our project! Those are my reasons, and I hope you'll drop by and check out Lora's introduction and Fig and Walnut Biscotti recipe today to find out her reasons for experimenting with einkorn. I know there will also be a learning curve, because einkorn flour absorbs water differently than "regular" flour (the flour I'm used to working with). That's what I hope to learn from these kitchen experiments. I am by no means saying that einkorn is safe or better for everyone, I'm just hoping to find out if it is better for the health of my loved ones. So, I figured now was the perfect time to introduce the whole family to this grain, and hopefully quell the rumblings on they sneak to the forefront. And though it pains me to say this, my system has started to change and have more sensitivities over the past couple of years as well. Several years back, my mom cut most gluten from her diet (among other things) when her doctor suggested it. Since its nutrients are better absorbed, people wth gluten sensitivities are often able to consume einkorn without the belly and digestion issues (although it's not recommended for people with celiac disease or those who have allergies to wheat or gluten). I'd read that einkorn was a nutritious grain that contained higher levels of protein and essential fatty acids, and that it was easier to digest than modern wheat. We both have our reasons for wanting to learn more about this grain whose wild form has been traced back tens of thousands of years, mine being several. Together we'll be experimenting in the kitchen with the oldest wheat known to scientists*-Einkorn. ![]() I'm pretty excited to announce that this month kicks off a new project I'm embarking on with my friend Lora from Savoring Italy.
