Red Currant Bakery

0 Preheat the oven to 400 F or 375 F if baking on convection. Arrange one rack in the middle of the oven.
Kräuter Quark
3 In a medium bowl add in the quark, salt, pepper, onion powder, and grated garlic.
4 Stir together, then add in the finely chopped herbs.
5 Stir again to combine. Then separate out 110 grams of the kräuter quark and place it in a separate bowl. Cover both bowls and place in the fridge.
Scone dough
8 Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl of a food processor and blend until fully combined.
9 Then cube the cold butter and add it into the food processor. Pulse about 5 times until the chunks of butter are the size of grains of rice.
10 Dump the scone base into a medium mixing bowl and add in the larger portion of quark. 
11 Quickly use the side of a metal spoon or a rubber spatula to cut through the ingredients. Don't stir it together - this will cause gluten to form and the scones to be tough.
12 Continue cutting through until the dough starts to just barely clump together.
13 If you squish the dough between your fingers it should come together.
14 Dump the dough out of the mixing bowl and knead two or three times until it comes together.
Shaping the Scones
17 Prepare one baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
18 Pat the scone dough into a 1" thick circle. 
19 Using a bench scraper or knife and cut the dough into 8 wedges. If the dough cracks or splits apart, just press it back together.
Bake the scones
22 Evenly space the scones on the baking sheet. Brush the top of each one with melted butter and sprinkle with flakey salt.
23 Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through so that they bake evenly.
24 After the scones are finished baking and golden brown, remove them from the oven and place the baking sheet on a cooling rack to cool for at least 5 minutes.
25 Serve with the remaining kräuter quark.
