For best results, use very cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible. Consider brushing the tops of the scones with a little melted butter or milk before baking for an extra golden crust. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
Step
6 mins
Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It is crucial to keep the butter cold for a flaky scone. (5-7 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
In a separate small bowl, combine the mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to blend. (1 minute)
05
Step
3 mins
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy. If the dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it comes together. (2-3 minutes)
06
Step
25 mins
Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a large knife or bench scraper to cut the circle into 12 wedges. Alternatively, you can simply score the disc without fully separating the wedges. (3 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 28 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (22-28 minutes)
08
StepRemove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)
