White Chocolate Chip Scones with Peppermint Glaze

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.
