In a large mixing bowl, combine the quark, eggs, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be homogenous.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until no dry flour remains. You may need to use your hands to bring the dough together.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead a few times to form a cohesive ball. The dough should be soft but manageable.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the frying oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 170-180°C (340-350°F). To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a tiny piece of dough into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Using two spoons or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes per batch - 6
Fry the quark balls, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon, until they are puffed up and evenly golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried quark balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 8
Once slightly cooled but still warm, generously dust the quark balls with powdered sugar. Serve immediately for the best texture.
