Peanut Butter And Banana Scones Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND BACON SCONES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet onto a paper towel-lined plate. Strain the bacon drippings and reserve.
• Whisk the flour, 2 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, peanut butter and 1 tablespoon bacon fat in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the chopped bacon.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and quickly mix with a rubber spatula to form a shaggy dough. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and pat into a circle, about 9-inches wide. Cut into 8 wedges. Evenly space the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
• Combine 1 teaspoon of the bacon drippings with the milk and remaining 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Brush some the glaze on top of each scone (there will be some left). Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. Bake until the tops of scones are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and brush or drizzle with the remaining glaze while they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BANANA NUT SCONES WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the mashed bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Grate the frozen butter (I use a box grater to grate it; a food processor also works for grating). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, two forks, a food processor, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.
• Drizzle wet ingredients over flour mixture, add the walnuts, and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Dough will be sticky and a little wet. Drop scones, 1/4 cup of dough each, at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush scones with milk, then top with a little coarse sugar if desired for extra crunch. Tastes great!
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool as you make the icing. The scones taste even better after they cool down!
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and maple syrup together, whisking occasionally. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Drizzle over scones.
• Scones are best enjoyed right away, though leftover scones keep well at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days.
