Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add in butter using the beater blade of an electric mixer until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg, bananas, and buttermilk. Combine completely. Fold in chopped walnuts.
- On a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat, drop dough. Using floured hands (or sprinkling a little extra flour on the top of the dough) pat into a large 10inch circle.
- Using a large knife or pizza cutter, slice dough into 8-10 large triangles. Separate slightly.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and make sure scones are completely separated. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and heavy cream. Beat for 3-5 minutes until desired consistency. Spread over scones and immediately sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Serve and enjoy.
- Store in airtight container for up to three days in refrigerator.
Notes
- Storing: Keep leftovers scones covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These are delicious served cold or room temperature!
- Frosting: If you prefer a more glaze-like frosting, drizzle in a little more heavy cream or milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Use a pizza cutter. Slicing the scones with a pizza cutter is the easiest way to get clean, even cuts. If you don’t have a pizza cutter, a sharp knife works well too.
