• Preheat the oven to 400 F or 375 F if baking on convection. Arrange one rack in the middle of the oven.

Kräuter Quark

• In a medium bowl add in the quark, salt, pepper, onion powder, and grated garlic.
• Stir together, then add in the finely chopped herbs.
• 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

• Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl of a food processor and blend until fully combined.
• 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.
• Dump the scone base into a medium mixing bowl and add in the larger portion of quark.
• 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.
• Continue cutting through until the dough starts to just barely clump together.
• If you squish the dough between your fingers it should come together.
• Dump the dough out of the mixing bowl and knead two or three times until it comes together.

Shaping the Scones

• Prepare one baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Pat the scone dough into a 1" thick circle.
• 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

• Evenly space the scones on the baking sheet. Brush the top of each one with melted butter and sprinkle with flakey salt.
• Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through so that they bake evenly.
• 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.
• Serve with the remaining kräuter quark.
