Ingredients: 3 cups (450 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 6 tbsp (80 g) sugar; 4 tsp baking powder; 1/2 tsp salt; 3/4 cup (170 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed; 1 cup (250 ml) mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas); 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk; 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract; 6 tbsp (80 g) brown sugar; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; Milk, for brushing; Maple butter, at room temperature, as desired

Preparation

Scones
- With the rack in the upper third position, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and rub between your fingertips, incorporating the mixture as you work, until the butter forms pea-sized pieces.
- In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Shape the dough into a square.
Filling
- In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) square. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the entire surface of the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Flatten the log until it is 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and 16 inches (45 cm) long. Cut into 6 rectangles, then halve each rectangle into 2 triangles. Place on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Brush the scones with milk. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before glazing.
- Stir the maple butter with a spoon, then drizzle over the scones. Serve warm or cooled.
