Makes 15-20 depending on size

INGREDIENTS

• 200g Quark
• 2 eggs
• 75g sugar
• 2 tsps (12g) vanilla sugar
• 2 tbsps milk
• 6 tbsps sunflower oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• lemon zest
• 300 g flour
• 3 tsps baking powder
• 20g caster sugar
• 20g butter

Combine the quark, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, milk, sunflower oil, vanilla and lemon zest, then stir in the flour and baking powder and knead well. The dough should not be too wet so maybe keep aside one egg and some quark and add them in as needed.

Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, then roll it out to about a 1 cm thickness and cut into strips. Roll and form them into crescents. Melt half the butter and brush it onto the crescents. Bake at 180C for 8 to 10 minutes – they will still be pale when done.

Brush on the rest of the melted butter and dust with caster sugar.
