German Quark Balls Recipe

The German Quark Balls Recipe looks like doughnuts, but the dough is made with baking powder instead of yeast. The taste is different because of the quark used. The texture is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Originally made with quark, they also can be prepared with drained Greek yogurt or a mixture of mascarpone and sour cream.

Ingredients for the German Quark Balls Recipe:

2 eggs, XL
75 g (2.65 oz) of sugar
1 pouch of vanilla sugar OR 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
250 g (8.81 oz) of Quark OR drained Greek yoghurt OR 125 g (4.4 oz) of mascarpone mixed with 125 g (4.4 oz) of sour cream
200 g (7.05 oz) of flour, all-purpose
50 g (1.76 oz) of corn starch OR potato starch Or Gustin
2 teaspoons of baking powder

For finishing:

500 ml – 1000 ml (1.05 pt – 1.05 qt) of sunflower oil OR vegetable oil (depending on the size of the saucepan)
3 tablespoons of sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to roll the balls OR 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to sift over the balls
