5. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the mashed bananas.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick disk.
8. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
