If you love sweet, fluffy treats, Quarkbällchen (fritters) are the perfect indulgence. These little bites are made with quark cheese, which gives them a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. They’re easy to make, and once you try them, you’ll be hooked!
Ingredients:
- 350 g flour
- 200 g sugar
- 500 g quark cheese (you can also use similar soft cheese like ricotta if needed)
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
Instructions:
1. Make the Dough:
Start by whisking the 4 eggs with the 200 g sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the 500 g quark cheese and mix well. Then, gradually add the 350 g flour, followed by the 1 teaspoon baking powder and the vanilla sugar. Stir everything together until you have a smooth dough.
2. Prepare for Frying:
Once your dough is ready, transfer it to a freezer bag. Cut off one corner to create a piping bag. Heat a pot of oil over low heat. The oil should be medium hot but not smoking, as this will ensure the fritters cook evenly.
3. Fry the Fritters:
Squeeze the dough into the hot oil, creating small fritters. Fry them in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and puffed up (about 3-5 minutes). Be sure not to overcrowd the pan so they fry evenly.
4. Coat with Sugar:
Once fried, remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. While still warm, roll the fritters in some sugar to coat them.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
These Quarkbällchen are best enjoyed fresh and warm, with a crisp exterior and soft, cheesy interior. Serve them as a sweet treat for breakfast, as a snack, or for a special occasion!
These delicious little Quarkbällchen are the perfect comfort food, with the tanginess of quark and the sweetness of sugar. Easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser, they are ideal for satisfying your sweet cravings.
