Banana bread scones

Banana bread scones are a delightful twist on the classic banana bread, offering a scone's crumbly texture combined with the sweet, moist flavors of banana. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat, these scones are easy to make and use ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
2 bananas
240g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1/3 cup powdered sugar
55g
1 tsp maple syrup
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
3. Cut in the Butter:
- Cut 1/4 cup (54g) of butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Incorporate Sugar:
- Add 1/3 cup (72g) of brown sugar to the flour and butter mixture. Stir until it's evenly distributed.
5. Mash the Bananas:
- In a separate bowl, mash 2 bananas (approximately 240g) until smooth.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the mashed bananas to the flour mixture. Pour in 3/4 cup (180g) of milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
7. Shape the Scones:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Prepare the Glaze:
- While the scones are baking, mix 1/3 cup (55g) of powdered sugar and 1 tsp (5g) of maple syrup in a small bowl. Add a small amount of milk (a few drops at a time) until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
10. Glaze the Scones:
- Once the scones are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over warm scones.
11. Serve:
- Your banana bread scones are now ready to be served. Enjoy them warm with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is cold when you mix it with the flour. This helps create a flaky texture in the scones.

- Do not over-mix the dough, as this can make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can speed up the process by placing them in a brown paper bag for a day or two.

- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough.

- Drizzle the powdered sugar and maple syrup glaze over the scones once they have slightly cooled. This ensures the glaze sets well.

Enjoy your freshly baked banana bread scones with a cup of coffee or tea. These scones are best served warm, but you can also store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for a few days. They're sure to be a hit with family and friends!
