Calories 199kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoons ground cloves
- ¼ cup cold butter
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ teaspoons banana extract
- ½ cup strawberries chopped
- ¼ cup frozen bananas chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, ground cloves).
- Cut in the butter until the dry ingredients resemble tiny coarse crumbs.
- Blend in the buttermilk and banana extract just until moistened.
- Very gently fold in the chopped up strawberries and bananas.
- Turn your dough out on a lightly floured surface. Knead gently about 10 times or so.
- You can use a rolling pin, but I just used my hands to create an 8" circle.
- Cut into 8 wedges like a pizza.
- Place the wedges individually on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees or until the scones are golden brown.
- Serve warm, plain or with butter.
- Ah-mazing! (serve with tea or coffee for a wonderful treat!)
