Steps:
- For the scone: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, crushed candy canes, sugar, baking power, salt and baking soda. Using 2 knives or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the butter is in small pieces but still visible. Stir in the buttermilk. Knead lightly just until the dough holds together.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a disc about 8 inches wide and 5/8 inch thick. Cut each disc into 6 wedges and place on the prepared pan. Bake until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
- For the ganache: In a pot, bring the cream and corn syrup to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Add the white chocolate melts and peppermint oil and stir until completely melted. Transfer to a bowl if necessary for ease of dipping.
- Dip the scones in the ganache as desired, returning them to the parchment to collect any ganache that drips off. If decorating with sprinkles, sugar or candy, add them quickly before the ganache sets, decorating one at a time as each scone is dipped in the ganache.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality white chocolate chips. You can also use a combination of white and dark chocolate chips.
- If you don't have peppermint extract, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint oil.
- If you want a sweeter scone, you can add 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite spread, such as butter, jam, or honey.
