Banana-Nut Skillet Scones
- 2 Bananas; (very ripe)
- 2 Cartons; 6-oz, banana yogurt
- 3 1/2 c All-purpose flour
- 3/4 c Granulated sugar
- 1 tb Baking powder
- 1 ts Baking soda
- 1/4 ts Salt
- 10 tb (1 1/4 sticks) Cold Butter;
- -plus more for the skillet
- 1 c Chopped walnuts or pecans
Mash bananas in small bowl; stir in yogurt and set aside. In a separate
bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut
in 10 tablespoons butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse
meal. Add yogurt mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in nuts. Turn out
onto well floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times, just until dough holds
together. Pat into a sqare about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2
1/2-inch-squares (dough will be very soft.)
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat; lightly butter
skillet. Use a spatula or turner to lift scones onto griddle; do not crowd.
Cover and cook until bottoms are lightly browned and tops begin to dry,
about 4-5 minutes. Turn, add more butter if desired, and cook on other side
until golden, about 3 minutes Serve warm with butter and honey.
