Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 250 ml milk; 250 ml sparkling water; 1 packet vanilla sugar; 250 g all-purpose flour; a pinch of salt; oil for frying; 750 g smooth quark; 2 packets vanilla sugar (or to taste); 1 handful raisins soaked in rum; 2 egg whites; 180 ml milk; 2 egg yolks; 1 packet vanilla sugar; powdered sugar; fresh fruit (optional)

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the pancake batter In a bowl whisk the eggs with the milk and sparkling water. Add the vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt and the all-purpose flour. Whisk into a smooth batter without lumps. Let rest for 20 minutes – the pancakes will be more tender.
Frying the pancakes On a hot pan brushed with a drop of oil fry thin pancakes until golden. This batch yields approximately 10 pieces.
Quark filling In a bowl mix the quark, vanilla sugar, drained raisins and finally gently fold in the beaten egg whites. The filling will be light and fluffy thanks to the whites.
Filling and arranging the pancakes Fill each pancake with the quark mixture, roll up and cut in half. Place the individual pieces closely next to each other in a baking dish.
Pour/Custard Mix the milk with the egg yolks and vanilla sugar. Pour evenly over the entire surface of the pancakes.
Baking Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 30 minutes, until the custard thickens and the surface lightly browns.
Serving Before serving dust with powdered sugar and add fresh fruit.
