INGREDIENTS
500g of quark
3 eggs
8 tablespoons of flour
5 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Neutral oil for deep frying
METHOD
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the quark and sugars. Use a fork or blender to blend them together until smooth. Add the eggs to the mixture and mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder until evenly combined.
3. Mix Everything Together:
Gradually add the flour mixture to the quark and egg mixture, stirring continuously until a thick, sticky dough forms. If the dough is too liquid, add more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
4. Preheat the Oil:
Preheat neutral oil in a deep pot over medium heat. It’s essential to maintain the right temperature; if it’s too high, the donuts won’t cook through, and if it’s too low, they’ll soak up too much oil.
5. Form and Fry:
With wet hands to prevent sticking, form small balls of dough and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry the donuts until golden brown on all sides, ensuring they cook evenly.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, remove the donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve warm and indulge in the irresistible combination of fluffy texture and sweet flavour.
