Strawbery banana scones

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 mediums Bananas -- mashed
1 cup Strawberries -- peeled and
Chopped
2 tablespoons Sugar
3 cups Flour, all-purpose
3 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Butter -- softened
2 eaches Egg -- beaten slightly

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Mix together the bananas, strawberries and sugar, set aside. (Don't do this much in advance, the bananas will blacken) Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well with a whisk. Using a pastry blender, mix in the butter until coarse. Still using the pastry blender, mix in the eggs, one at a time.

Stir in the banana mixture. The dough will be very moist and messy.

Knead it in the bowl enough to pick up all of the flour mixture. (It will still be very moist.)

Turn out the dough on a floured board, and flour the top of the dough so that flour coats the entire dough. Flatten with a rolling pin or your hands to ¾".

Using a knife, cut the dough into squares, or large wedges, and lay onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

I have added pine nuts, raspberries, pecans, anything to the basic flour, baking powder, salt, butter and eggs mixture. Yum! Recipe By : Becky Lyon
