Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Strong brewed coffee
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mash the ripe banana in a small bowl until smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg, and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Shape the dough into a 1-inch thick circle (about 8 inches in diameter).
Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the coffee glaze by whisking the powdered sugar and strong brewed coffee in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the scones have cooled slightly, drizzle the coffee glaze over the top of each scone. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature with your favorite beverage.
