Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, browned and cooled
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Mashed ripe bananas
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₄ cup Chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a light brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the browned butter and sugar until well combined. Add in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round shape.
7. Using a sharp knife, cut the round into 8 equal wedges. Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
