Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large Ripe banana, mashed
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth, then mix in the milk and honey (if using).

Step 5

Pour the banana mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as needed.

Step 7

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These are delicious on their own or paired with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey.
