Banana Toffee Drop Scones Recipes

BANANA SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger. Cut butter into a few chunks and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips.
• Mix milk and vanilla in a small glass. Pour about 4 tablespoons into the flour mixture and stir until the mixture starts to come together. Add the banana chunks and continue to stir, adding more milk if necessary, until dough comes together.
• Pat dough into a disk about 1 inch thick. Cut into four sections with a knife and place each on baking sheet.
• Bake at 400F for 17-20 minutes, until light gold.
• Cool on wire rack or eat warm. These scones are best the day they are made.

BANANA-TOFFEE DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, toffee bits, 1/4 cup sugar, the whipping cream, vanilla, egg and bananas until soft dough forms.
• Drop dough by 10 heaping tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets (5 per cookie sheet). Brush tops with milk; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Refrigerate second cookie sheet while first cookie sheet bakes.
• Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

BANANA NUT SCONES WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the mashed bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Grate the frozen butter (I use a box grater to grate it; a food processor also works for grating). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, two forks, a food processor, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.
• Drizzle wet ingredients over flour mixture, add the walnuts, and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Dough will be sticky and a little wet. Drop scones, 1/4 cup of dough each, at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush scones with milk, then top with a little coarse sugar if desired for extra crunch. Tastes great!
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool as you make the icing. The scones taste even better after they cool down!
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and maple syrup together, whisking occasionally. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Drizzle over scones.
• Scones are best enjoyed right away, though leftover scones keep well at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days.
