Buttermilk Banana Scones Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buttermilk Banana Scones Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat, like a Silpat, to ensure your scones bake perfectly without sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, combine 2 3/4 cups of flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Step 3

   Give it a good mix until everything is well blended, creating a delightful base for your scones.

4. Step 4

   Next, add cold butter pieces to the dry mixture.

5. Step 5

   Using a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, almost like sandy pebbles.

6. Step 6

   In a separate small bowl, mash some ripe bananas and mix in buttermilk and vanilla extract until everything is harmoniously combined.

7. Step 7

   Now, pour this banana mixture into your dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.

8. Step 8

   If the dough feels a bit too wet, don’t hesitate to sprinkle in a little extra flour—just remember to handle the dough as lightly as possible to keep those scones tender.

9. Step 9

   Shape the dough into a lovely disc right on your prepared baking sheet, and with a gentle hand, cut it into 12 wedges or score the top to create a beautiful pattern.

10. Step 10

    Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the scones bake for 22 to 28 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and are cooked through.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re out of the oven, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
