Banana Biscuit Scones

Cooking4TenOfUs's Note:

I threw this together for quick breakfast one morning using what I had on hand- lots of bananas. It is a basic biscuit recipe with a banana twist. Be sure to mix using a light hand. Top with butter, jam, coconut oil, or your favorite other topping. You can use all milk or buttermilk in place of milk and yogurt. I was just using up the last of my plain yogurt.

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 48.0 small b ...

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2⁄3; cup shortening (I use palm shortening) or 2⁄3; cup butter (I use palm shortening)
• 2 cups pureed bananas
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup plain yogurt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and shortening to a food processor and pulse until mixture looks like coarse meal.
3. Pour into mixing bowl.
4. Blend bananas, milk and yogurt in blender until smooth then slowly add to dry mixture while stirring until mixture binds together.
5. Dump onto lightly floured counter and knead gently until mixture holds together well. I like to fold into thirds 2-3 times to create layers.
6. Roll to 1/2 inch thick and cut into small rounds (1.5"), place on baking sheet and bake for 15-18 min or until golden brown.
7. Serve with toppings and enjoy while still warm.
