For 12 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

250 g all-purpose flour
250 g soft quark
250 g softened butter (or margarine)
a pinch of salt

For the crumb topping:

approx. 100 g crumb topping (from previous baking, or prepare new from 50 g flour, 30 g butter and 20 g sugar)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Add the soft quark and softened butter (or margarine) and quickly work with your hands into a smooth, non-sticky dough.
Rest Wrap the finished dough in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 min so the butter firms up a little again.
Shaping the pastries Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 12–15). From each, form a ball, gently press it into a small disc and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Adding the crumb topping Sprinkle a layer of crumb topping onto each disc, lightly press it to the edge of the pastry.
Baking Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bake the pastries for 18–20 min, until golden.
Serving Let the baked pastries cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool completely. They go great with coffee or tea.
