for buffets, parties or soup

Mix the dry ingredients and cheese in a large bowl, then mix in the butter in small pieces. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and crème légère. Knead with a dough hook and then briefly knead with your hands on the work surface until you have a firm dough. It’s okay if there are a few small crumbs left. Let the dough stand in a cool place for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the dough to about the height of your finger or flatten it and cut into triangles or squares. Alternatively, cut out circles with a glass. Quickly press the dough scraps together and divide them. Place the dough pieces on baking sheets lined with baking paper, sprinkle with a little grated cheese if desired, and bake in the preheated oven at 180°C fan/convection oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the size. The scones will rise considerably. The scones can be baked or frozen unbaked. The baking time for frozen scones will be slightly longer. Thaw baked scones at room temperature and heat briefly in the microwave. Suitable herbs include rosemary, thyme, or herbes de Provence. Add a little chili powder or chili flakes for a spicier flavor.
