    I don’t want to be the one telling you »I told you so…« – a new lockdown has just recently been announced for Germany… the social distancing rules getting more strict, some people started hoarding toilet paper again… let’s hope that flour and yeast are not disappearing this time or I will go crazy for sure. ;P

    Well… just in case you need to stay home and want to bake again – I got a new recipe with bananas for you. Banana bread was very popular the first time, why not try something new? How about some Banana Bread Scones? Equally delicious and easy to prepare ;)

    I guess I should not think about the bad things that could happen and just hope for the best… but I am a bit skeptical looking at the numbers right now. On the bright side (I know that spring was certainly not a walk in the park for many people) I think some out there could at least get something good out of all that time spent at home. All the people that found their love and talent for baking, for example. That is something good, right?! I know, it’s a bit of a stretch when you look at all the bad things that happen all over the world, but hey… sometimes you have to be happy about the small things that emerge out of the chaos ;)

    Well… back to baking! Banana bread is old news – Banana Bread Scones are the thing to bake now. ;) Banana bread has become very popular in spring and I don’t know why exactly. Maybe because everybody was hoarding bananas and then didn’t know what to do with them? Because banana bread is so easy to make? I guess we will never know for sure. Today you can evolve your banana bread skills and combine them with traditional scones to make Banana Bread Scones. The delicious brothers (or sisters) of the banana bead ;P

    I assume everyone knows scones – in the UK a classic served along with some tea, if possible with some clotted cream and jam. An absolutely delicious treat! If we bring bananas (and some nuts) to the game, we can easily turn those classic scones into Banana Bread Scones ;) Those are also nice with a cup of tea, but I prefer them for breakfast or as a sweet snack in between. All day long ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and place the pecans on it. Bake for about 4-5 minutes until lightly toasted and fragrant. Take out of the oven and let cool down, then chop coarsely. Keep the oven running.

    2. Mash the banana and mix with the heavy cream, egg, rum, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the cold butter in pieces and cut with a pastry blender* (or knife) into small pieces until the whole mixture looks like coarse meal with some larger pieces. Add the chopped toasted pecans and chocolate and mix in. Next, add the banana-cream-mixture to the bowl and mix with a fork until just combined – you still want to see some dry flour in some spots but not flour that is not incorporated on the bottom of the bowl. Transfer the mix to a floured surface, sprinkle with some flour and shape into a 6 inches (15cm) disc. Use a pizza roller or sharp knife to cut the disc into 8 equal slices (like a pizza). Place those slices with some space in between on the prepared baking sheet. This might all look and feel a bit messy, but that’s how it is. Re-shape the slices on the baking sheet if necessary. ;)

    3. Brush the scones with some heavy cream and sprinkle with the coarse brown sugar. Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a scone comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down for a moment on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool down further. Serve slightly warm for the best flavors.

    1. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und die Pekannüsse darauf verteilen. Für etwa 4-5 Minuten in den heißen Ofen schieben, bis sie anfangen zu duften und leicht getoastet sind. Herausholen und abkühlen lassen, dann grob hacken. Den Ofen nicht ausschalten.

    2. Die Banane zerdrücken und mit der Sahne, Ei, Rum und Vanille Extrakt in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen. Mehl mit braunem Zucker, Backpulver und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken dazugeben und mit einem Teigmischer* (oder Messer) in noch kleinere Stücke zerteilen und mit dem Mehl vermischen, bis alles wie feuchter Sand mit ein paar größeren Stücke aussieht. Die gehackte Schokolade und Pekannüsse dazugeben und untermischen. Die Bananen-Sahne-Mischung zur Schüssel dazugeben und mit einer Gabel vermischen – nicht zu viel rühren, man darf hier und da noch Mehlreste sehen, der Boden der Schüssel sollte aber mehlfrei sein. Den Teig auf eine bemehlte Fläche geben, mit etwas Mehl bestreuen und zu einer runden Scheibe mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 15cm (6 inches) zusammendrücken. Mit einem Pizzaroller oder scharfen Messer in 8 Dreiecke zerteilen (wie eine Pizza). Diese Teigstücke mit etwas Abstand zueinander auf das vorbereitete Blech setzen. Da der Teig recht weich ist, kann das eine etwas klebrige Angelegenheit werden, aber die Dreiecke kann man auf dem Blech noch gut in Form bringen. ;)

    3. Die Scones mit etwas Sahne bestreichen und mit grobem braunen Zucker bestreuen. Für etwa 18-22 Minuten backen, bis die Scones eine goldbraune Farbe haben. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und die Scones erst herausholen, wenn dieser sauber herauskommt. Die Scones aus dem Ofen holen und für einige Zeit auf dem Blech abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter setzen. Die Scones schmecken am besten, wenn sie noch etwas warm sind.

    Description

    The best way to get rid of overripe bananas: Banana Bread Scones. Easy-peasy to prepare… a bit messy though, but very tasty and worth the mess! ;)


    Ingredients

    Scale

    1 large ripe banana, mashed (about 5.3 oz./150g)
    1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream, plus more
    1 large egg
    1 tbsp. rum
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
    2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 cup (120g) butter, cold
    1.8 oz. (50g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
    1.4 oz. (40g) toasted pecans, chopped

    coarse brown sugar for sprinkling


    Instructions

    2. Mash the banana and mix with the heavy cream, egg, rum, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the cold butter in pieces and cut with a pastry blender* (or knife) into small pieces until the whole mixture looks like coarse meal with some larger pieces. Add the chopped toasted pecans and chocolate and mix in. Next, Add the banana-cream-mixture to the bowl and mix with a fork until just combined – you still want to see some dry flour in some spots, but not flour that is not incorporated on the bottom of the bowl.
