Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients (flours - sugar). Work the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is unevenly crumbly using two forks. Toss in the toffee.

Step 4

Mash the banana with the vanilla in a small bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of the milk. Add mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until dough comes together into one mass, adding more milk if needed.

Step 5

Turn dough out onto a floured board. Flour your hands and the surface of the dough. Fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Sprinkle more flour on the outside as needed to keep the dough from sticking.

Step 6

Cut dough in half and press each piece into a circle 6-8 inches in diameter. Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Cut each circle into 6 wedge-shaped pieces using a knife or spatula, baking each wedge up from center a little, leaving1/2 inch or so between them.

Step 7

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven.

Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • When selecting the butter, make sure it is cold and cut into small pieces.
  • If you don't have toffee, you can substitute chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

  • Replace the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. This substitution will provide a healthier alternative while still offering a rich flavor.
  • Replace the toffee with dark chocolate chips for a more indulgent treat. The dark chocolate will add a rich, intense flavor that pairs well with the banana.

Chocolate Chip Banoffee Scones Replace the toffee with 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Reduce the amount of sugar to 2 tablespoons. Increase the amount of milk to 3/4 cup.



Vanilla Ice Cream - The sweetness of the toffee in the scones pairs perfectly with the creamy taste of vanilla ice cream and provides a delicious contrast of hot and cold.


Lemon Curd: The tartness of the lemon curd complements the sweetness of the toffee scones and provides a delicious balance of flavors. It's a great way to add a bit of zing to the dessert plate.
