 MARS BAR AND BANANA SCONES



3 cups self raising flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

113 grams butter/margerine, cold (1/2 cup)

3 mars bars

2/3 cup mashed banana

2/3 cup thickened cream


preheat oven to 180 c. (350 f.)  line a medium sized baking tray with baking paper.


place the flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl. rub or cut in the butter until mix looks like breadcrumbs.


cut each mars bar into 3 lengthwise then chop each piece into small dice.  place each small piece separately into the flour and mix to coat (so they don't all just clump together).


mix the bananas and cream together then stir into the flour mix to form a dough. if too dry add a little more cream. (I didn't need too)


tip onto a floured board and press out to about 2 - 3 cm thick. 


cut into rounds with a scone cutter. place on the tray with the scones just touch each other.


cook for 15 - 20 minutes until golden.


remove to wire rack.


serve warm or cold.  


I served with nestles caramel top and fill and whipped cream.
