Glaze Ingredients:
- 4 tabelspoons Buter
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablepoons Milk
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
Step 2
Add in the 4 tbsp of cold cubed butter, and use a fork or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until uneven crumbs begin form.
Step 3
Stir in the mashed banana, vanilla extract, and milk until a sticky dough comes together.
Step 4
Scrape your dough out on to a well floured baking sheet. Sprinkle some more flour on top, and shape the dough into a 5 in disc.
Step 5
Using a very sharp, floured knife, cut six wedges from the circle of dough. Pull each one out slightly, so that they are about 1/2 in apart. Place your scones in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes before baking.
Step 6
Once it’s close to baking time, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Remove your scones from the freezer, and brush the tops of each one with a little milk. Place them in the over to bake for 18 minutes. Remove and set them on a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
Step 7
To make the glaze, place 4 tbsp of butter in a light colored pan. Begin to melt it on medium high, stirring constantly. The butter will begin to foam, and once it turns a toasty brown color - it’s done!
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine the brown butter with the confectioners sugar and milk - adding more milk if it’s too thick. Use a spoon to drizzle this glaze on your scones and enjoy!
