Ingredients
  

FOR THE SCONES

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoon butter cold
  • ½ cup mashed bananas ~2 medium ripe bananas
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FOR THE FILLING

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, sift and combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Using your finger tips or a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the dry mixture until coarse.
  • Add mashed bananas, milk and vanilla extract. With floured hands, form the dough into a ball. Add more flour slowly if the dough is too sticky and a ball is not forming easily.
  • Place the ball of dough onto a floured surface and gently pat down into a flat, even circle — about 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a small bowl, make the filling by combining brown sugar and cinnamon. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling on half of the circle. Fold dough in half, over filling and seal edges.
  • Cut into triangles (8-10 depending on size) and place scones on the lined baking sheet. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with white sugar.
  • Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and enjoy/serve warm with tea!
