Banana Bran Scones--Cooking Light

People talking
These are tasty little nuggets from Cooking Light. They're not too sweet but just right. I think next time I make them I will add dried cranberries or some nuts, as IMO they need some more texture. When I made them I used white wheat flour and regular milk, and I'm sure buttermilk would be lovely. II also sprinkled with cinnamon sugar instead of plain granulated, and I bet turbinado would be nice as well.

These are heavenly scones, Smelly! They really hit the spot this morning! I didn't have any buttermilk, so I made some, by adding a bit of lemon juice to the milk. I used your suggestion and sprinkled the tops with turbinado sugar, mixed with cinnamon, which was wonderful. I did find the dough to be quite wet, and actually did a web search on the recipe and found that was a common complaint. When I make them again, I'll add an extra 1/4 cup of flour or oat bran to start with, so I won't be need to add so much when I'm kneading them. Highly remcommended scones!!
