Method
- 1
Mash the quark with the eggs, 1 tbsp sugar and the salt until smooth. Stir in the flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Add a little more flour only if it is too wet to handle.
- 2
Dust the worktop with flour. Divide the dough into 3 and roll each into a log about 2 cm thick.
- 3
Cut each log at a slant into pieces about 2 cm wide. Bring a wide pan of salted water to a gentle boil.
- 4
Cook the dumplings in two batches. They sink, then float. Simmer for 3 minutes after they float, until puffed and cooked through. Lift out with a slotted spoon.
3 min - 5
Melt the butter in a frying pan and toast the breadcrumbs in it for 2 minutes until golden and nutty.
2 min - 6
Toss the dumplings in the buttery crumbs. Serve with soured cream and a sprinkle of the remaining sugar.
