Moist And Fluffy Quark Balls Recipes

MOIST AND FLUFFY QUARK BALLS

Steps:

• For the Quarkballs, first beat the eggs with the sugar, the pulp of the vanilla pod, lemon zest and a pinch of salt until foamy.
• Mix the baking powder and starch with the flour and stir into the egg-sugar mixture.
• Finally, add the Greek yoghurt and mix everything into a smooth, sticky batter (see picture). Then let the dough swell for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat the oil in a deep fryer or a pot to 340 F (170 °C). It's important that the fat always has a constant temperature of 340 F (170°C), so I recommend using a thermometer.
• Mix the sugar with the cinnamon in a bowl and put aside.
• Form small dough balls with 2 tablespoons (or with a cookie scoop) **** (see picture) and put them into the hot fat. Do not make the balls too big, as they will still rise during frying and should be baked through in a few minutes. Turn the balls a little bit from time to time so that they brown on all sides.
• As soon as the quark balls are floating on the surface (after about 3 minutes), remove the pastry from the fat with a skimmer and let it drip off on a grid or kitchen paper.
• Roll the quark balls still warm in the cinnamon and sugar mixture - done! It is best to enjoy the quark balls still warm, that's how they taste best!

GERMAN QUARK BALLS (QUARKBäLLCHEN)

Steps:

• Add flour and yeast to a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
• Add sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, zest (if using), egg, room temperature butter, and Quark to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the bread hook attachment, mix on low until a dough forms. Then mix on high for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
• Cover the mixing bowl with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise until it has doubled in size.
• Add oil to a saucepan and heat to 175C.
• Using the dough hook, briefly mix the dough once more on low.
• Portion the dough into 25 balls and drop them one by one into the hot oil. When they're golden brown, take out of the oil and place on a paper towel.
• When you can comfortably touch the Quark balls, roll them in the sugar (or sugar/cinnamon or sugar/speculaas spice mixture).
