Time to make doughnuts: Quark balls - Quarkbällchen
Tartelette and Peabody are calling food bloggers to make doughnuts. A doughnut, or donut, is a sweet, deep-fried piece of dough or batter. For New Year's Eve we had the Berlin Pancakes , a doughnut filled with jelly. For this event I prepared the Quarkbällchen - in English quarkballs. Quark (cheese) is a type of fresh cheese of Central European origin. I used it to prepare a quark dough, portioned it with an ice-cream scoop and deep fried it. |
