Did you guys watch the premiere of Helix on Friday? It’s made by the same creator of Battlestar Galactica and I’m already reeled in. I just wish that they would use all the same actors/characters in Battlestar and place them in another show instead. Wouldn’t that be the best? BSG 4EVER.
Let’s be real here. There will never be a greater show than Battlestar Galactica. #truth
Please excuse me, my mind’s been all over the place lately. I’ve been working on Save the Dates (with a little help from an elf), addressing envelopes, flying leftover holiday travelers, fixing my February schedule, selling things on eBay, trying to buy some new key pieces for my wardrobe (since when did I think shopping for clothes was such a tedious task? perhaps that’s a sign I’m getting old), and playing blog catch up.
I don’t know where the time goes anymore. While I’m over here playing catch up, you can give these banana bread scones a try. They’re lighter and fluffier than normal scones. They also are a lot softer, so don’t expect them to need a dunking into coffee prior to eating. They’re great as is and bend instead of break!
Recipe from Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice
Ingredients
- 2 large, ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter.
- Add bananas, milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract until just incorporated.
- Line a dinner plate with a piece of parchment or wax paper and turn the dough out on top. Pat it into a disk about 1-inch thick and cover with another piece of wax paper. Put in freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Put the mixture on a baking sheet and slice into eight wedges, making sure to leave plenty of room for them to expand.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- To make the glaze, whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth.
- Drip over the scones and let dry completely.
I’ve got so many shows to start watching! Scones would help…
scones are not for everyone, but in my world I think they are delish! i love all morning pastries and the scone is no exception – these look great!
these scones look so soft and delicious, nice combination of flavors!
