Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the Scones
- 3 cups flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold butter cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- ½ cup milk (may need to add more)
- 1 egg yolk lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed banana
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a large, heavy baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix until well combined.
- Add the butter. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Add the wet ingredients and banana. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg yolk, and vanilla. Then, add the mashed banana. Using a wooden spoon, combine all the ingredients just until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it five times. Flatten the dough ball into a disk and cut it into 8 wedges or rounds.
- Bake. Put all the wedges on the baking sheet, leaving about a 1/4-inch space between them. Bake the scones for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool. Remove the banana bread scones from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer the scones to a wire rack.
- In the meantime, make the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of water; whisk until smooth and combined. If the glaze is too thick, add 1 more tablespoon of water and whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the scones and serve. While still warm, brush each scone with the glaze. Serve
