Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients. Peel the banana and mash it with a fork.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
3
Dice the cold butter and add it to the flour mixture. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Add the mashed banana and mix well.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined into a dough.
6
Shape the dough into a disc and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Slightly flatten the top and use a sharp knife to cut crosswise slits into the top.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are nicely golden brown.
8
Let the scones cool slightly before serving as desired.
