Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flour and cold butter into a food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds or until a fine crumb mixture forms.
- Transfer the flour-butter mixture into a large bowl and add the remaining dry ingredients: cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla, and sour cream.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the liquid ingredients. Use a spatula, then your hands to form a soft and sticky dough.
- Add in the chopped peppermint bark and mix into the dough.
- Shape the dough into a ball, then cover in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Baking
- Once the dough has chilled, place it onto parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a larger disk.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal pie cuts and spread the dough apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, just until set.
- Remove the scones from the baking pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- To garnish, melt 1/4 cup white chocolate chips. Transfer into a zip-lock bag or pastry bag and drizzle over the scones.
- Sprinkle crushed candy cane bits over the melted chocolate.
Storage
- Keep scones stored in an air-tight container.
