QUARK DONUT HOLES
500 g flour
500 g quark [rather dry]
4 eggs
1.5 packages baking powder
1 package vanilla sugar
100 g sugar
500 g butter lard
[or vegetable oil]
powdered sugar
[if the quark is really dry - use an extra egg]
_ combine all ingredients [but the butter lard and the powdered sugar] in a large bowl
[the batter is rather dry - you might wanna use a dough hook on your mixer]
_ slowly heat butter lard in a small pan
[don’t heat too fast - better to go a little higher later than burn your donuts to a crisp]
_ test heat by putting a chopstick into the oil - subtle bubbles should form
_ use two teaspoons to form little dough dumplings
_ put one after the other into the hot fat
[if oil is spattering - reduce heat]
[take into account that dumplings will grow about 4 times in size during frying]
_ once they start to brown flip them over
_ fry until dumplings are a lovely golden-brown in color
_ place onto a thick layer of kitchen paper [to absorb excess oil]
_ let cool a little and dust with powdered sugar
