Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Banana Scones
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse peas.
- In another bowl, mash the bananas, then stir in the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a thick circle about 1 inch high, cut into 8 triangles.
- Freeze the scones for about 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
- Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 25-28 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating cream cheese and mixing in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Let the scones cool for 10 minutes, then glaze generously with the cream cheese mixture.
