For 24 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

300 g sweet quark
300 g plain flour
1 egg
250 g butter (very cold, previously in the freezer)
15 g vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt

For the filling:

100–150 g fruit jam (e.g. apple)

For decoration:

powdered sugar

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation (15 min): Sift the flour with the baking powder into a bowl. Cut the butter into pieces and grate it into the flour using a grater until crumbly pieces form. Add the quark, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt and the egg. Quickly work into a smooth, non-yeasted dough.
Chilling (min. 60 min): Divide the dough into 2 portions (or more smaller ones if you want a triple batch), wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (up to 2 days).
Shaping (15 min): Roll each portion into a thin sheet (2–3 mm) and cut out a round shape. Cut into 12–16 triangles (24 rolls in total). Spread a thin layer of jam on the wider part of each triangle and roll toward the tip. Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking (17–20 min): Preheat the oven to 200 °C and bake until golden, until the rolls firm up and the edges are lightly browned.
Finishing (5 min): Let cool completely and dust with powdered sugar.
