How to Make Banana Drop Scones
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet, leaving space between each scone.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the scones are cooking, prepare the caramelized bananas: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add ¼ cup granulated sugar and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons heavy cream and 1 ripe banana, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces. Cook for 1 minute, or until the bananas are softened and coated in caramel.
- Serve the warm drop scones immediately, topped with the caramelized bananas. Enjoy!
