Step-by-Step Instructions for Peppermint White Chocolate Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract; stir gently until just combined.

  6. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and shape into a 1-inch thick circle; cut into wedges.
