Banana Scones
Banana scones are a creative and delicious pastry that combines the classic texture of crumbly scones with the natural sweetness of bananas. This recipe is especially popular with those who love soft, light pastries to accompany a cup of coffee or tea. The rich flavor of bananas harmonizes perfectly with the delicacy of the buttery dough. It is important not to overmix the dough, as this will make it truly crumbly and light. If you crave a little extra sweetness, you can add chocolate chips or a little honey. This scone is a perfect choice for a weekend breakfast or snack!

Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla sugar, and mix well.
2
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, quickly rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and the egg, and mix thoroughly.
4
Add the banana mixture and sour cream to the flour mixture. Quickly mix to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the scones tough.
5
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm). Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the scones.
7
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8
Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy fresh or warm!
