photo by:kraft

Studded with raisins, these scones get their banana flavor from cereal and tenderness from yogurt. For ease, the dough is dropped rather than rolled.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation - Traditional Kneaded and Shaped Scones

Prepare dough as directed. Place on lightly floured surface. Knead dough by pushing on dough with heel of hand. Rotate dough one-quarter turn, fold top part of dough over and push in with heel of hand. Knead dough about 20 times. Roll out dough to 8-inch square. Cut dough into 4 (4-inch) squares, then cut each square into 4 triangles. Place dough triangles, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet. Bake as directed. Makes 16 servings, 1 scone each.

I made these in the tradtional way and they looked goo but they were very bland. I added 1/2 mashed banana too. Iwould add more sugar-maybe increase to 1/4 cup and a dash of cinnamon.

My family is trying to eat healthier, and this definitely helped. We ate this recipe in less than two days, they were great! I even got my sister into cooking after this recipe; it encouraged her to make new things.
