White Chocolate Chip Scones With Peppermint Glaze
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 2-1/2 cups Flour
- 1/4 cups Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 2-1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold, Cut Into Pieces
- 3/4 cups Skim Milk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Milk
- 1/4 teaspoons Peppermint Extract
- 1 whole Medium Sized Candy Cane, Crushed
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a food processor mix together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla. Reserve 2 Tablespoons of this mixture in a small bowl and set it aside. Add the remaining milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Move dough into a mixing bowl and gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Transfer dough to a well floured surface (dough will be sticky). Form dough into an 8-inch circle and use a pizza cutter to cut it into 8 slices.
- Transfer the dough slices to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, keeping it in the same circle formation. Brush with reserved egg mixture and bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and gently the separate wedges and allow them to cool. While scones are cooling, make glaze.
- For the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth. Drizzle over scones. While glaze is still wet, top with crushed candy canes.
- Best eaten warm the day they are made.
