Banana-Scones

Ingredients

For the Scones
    • 3 cups flour
    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
    • 1/2 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

    • Preheat oven to 400.
    • Grease a large, heavy baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix until well combined.
    • Rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers, or with a pastry cutter; rub until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
    • Make a well in the center and pour in milk, egg yolk, and vanilla.
    • Add mashed banana.
    • Using a wooden spoon, combine all the ingredients just until the dough comes together.
    • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough five times.
    • Flatten ball into a disk; cut dough-ball into 8 wedges or rounds.
    • Put all the wedges on the baking sheet, leaving about 1/4-inch space between them.
    • Bake the scones for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
    • Let cool for a few minutes and then transfer the scones to a wire rack.
In the meantime, make the glaze.
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons water; whisk until smooth and combined. If the glaze is too thick, add 1 more tablespoon water and whisk until smooth.
  • While still warm, brush each scone with the glaze.
  • Serve.
