Sift
300gr flour
mix with
4ts baking powder
knead in
150gr quark
150 gr sugar
100ml milk
100ml neutral oil [use olive oil if you hate your guests]
2 dashes of salt
vanilla to taste
Knead for a minute max. Roll on a floured surface to about 1cm thickness. Use a 3″ diametre star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out stars. Fry in neutral oil until golden brown (flip over after about a minute). Drain on kitchen paper. Dust with icing sugar if you want a sweeter taste. This recipe made for 18 stars.
It puffed up to about 2.5 to 3-times its thickness. You can make Quarkbällchen that way, then you’d simply form balls out of the dough. An easy, popular thing is to just scoop balls of dough with a tablespoon or roll the dough and cut into diamond-shaped pieces. You can also roll it a little flatter and wrap sheets of dough around plums or chunks of apple before frying. The dough recipe is pretty versatile; you can use it like a yeast dough for sweet cakes and rolls (advantage: no rising time needed) or unsweetened for a pizza base. You’d only add an egg for a softer dough you don’t roll, e.g. for a plum cake base.

So this tastes like a moist muffin?
No egg?
How much does it puff up?
Is this what they call Quarkballchen?

Those look good!
OK – thanks and happy Chanuka!
This looks like it might help me during the year also – I am looking for a quick, hot breakfast my kids can take with them on the bus.
