Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar. Whisk until thoroughly combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Aim for a creamy consistency with few lumps.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter until it resembles small peas.
- Pour the mashed bananas into the dry mixture, followed by a lightly beaten egg, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix gently using a spatula until just combined.
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pat it into a round shape about 7 inches in diameter. Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles.
- Place the scone dough in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once chilled, brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 25-28 minutes.
- While the scones bake, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually adding powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Once the scones are out of the oven, let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm scones.
