Wonderful, moist and delicious! Thanks, Annacia. I accidentally used more bananas, then more flour and raisins and cherries. Picture perfect. -
Excellent scones, Annacia, & they were yummy when I tasted them warm from the oven w/butter. Flavors are subtle here w/neither banana nor coffee strongly predominant. They are just slightly sweet, so those w/a sweet tooth might think about increasing the sugar to 1/3 cup. The dough was very moist & I chilled it for a bit & then simply patted it out to cut the scones w/my 3" cookie cutter. It is a good idea to flour the cutter, btw. The texture is scone-perfect w/an exterior crunch & an almost cake-like interior. Mine were done at about 12-13 min & the yield was 11 scones. I had another (when cool) w/strawberry preserves & that was a treat! Made for Photo Tag & thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)
