These easy quark buns are quick, sweet balls of yeast-free dough that bring to mind treats baked by Mom or Grandma. Beat eggs with sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt, then combine with smooth quark, a fresh cheese similar to farmer's cheese, followed by flour, baking powder, and milk. Shape the dough into balls with wet hands, brush with oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes at 190°C (375°F). Serve dusted with powdered sugar.

Eggs 2
Granulated sugar 150 g

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Beat the eggs with the granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt, then combine with the smooth quark.
In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and milk. Add the quark mixture and work into a dough by hand.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wet your hands with cold water, pinch off pieces of dough, and shape them into balls. Place them next to each other on the baking sheet, then brush with a little oil.
Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C (375°F) for about 15–20 minutes. Dust the baked buns with powdered sugar and serve.

Tip: If the quark is wet, let it drain in a strainer before using it. Excess moisture would make the dough too loose and cause the balls to spread into flat rounds on the baking sheet.
