Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a sheet with parchment.

Tip: Heat shock helps scones rise.
2

Sift flour and baking powder, add salt. Rub in cold butter until crumbly.

Tip: Don't melt the butter! Cold chunks are needed.
3

Mash banana. Mix with egg, milk, honey, and Nutella.

Tip: The browner the banana, the sweeter and easier to mash.
4

Pour wet into dry, fold gently. Don't knead!

Tip: Mix just until flour disappears. Overmixing makes it tough.
5

Flatten to 1 inch thick on floured surface. Cut into rounds or wedges.

Tip: Tall dough = tall scone.
6

Bake 15-18 mins until golden.

Tip: Banana sugar browns fast, watch color!
