"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large ripe bananas)
1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (or any plain yogurt or sour cream)
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 and 1/2 cups (312g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, frozen
1 cup (125g) chopped walnuts (optional)
top before baking: 3 Tablespoons (45ml) milk and coarse sugar

Maple Glaze
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
1 cup (112g) sifted confectioners’ sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat the mashed bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Grate the frozen butter (I use a box grater to grate it; a food processor also works for grating). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, two forks, a food processor, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.

Drizzle wet ingredients over flour mixture, add the walnuts, and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Dough will be sticky and a little wet. Drop scones, 1/4 cup of dough each, at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush scones with milk, then top with a little coarse sugar if desired for extra crunch. Tastes great!
