Quark Dumplings with Plums

Ingredients

• 700 g potatoes
• 6 plums
• 45 g butter (3 tbsp)
• 30 g Honey (2 tbsp)
• 2 pinch cinnamon
• 250 g quark (20% fat in cream)
• 50 g coconut blossom sugar
• 30 g Raisins (2 tbsp)
• 150 g Spelt flour Type 1050
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch cardamom powder
• 1 pinch clove powder

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into small pieces; boil them for about 15 minutes over medium heat until soft. Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, wash the plums, halve them, remove pits, and slice into wedges. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Add the plums and sauté for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add honey and caramelize for 5 minutes. Season with 1 pinch of cinnamon.

3. 3.

   Press the cooled potatoes through a potato ricer into a bowl. Add quark, sugar, raisins, flour, egg, and spices to the potatoes and knead into a smooth dough; if too wet, add more flour. Shape the dough into 18 small discs.

4. 4.

   Fry the quark dumplings one at a time. Heat 1 tsp butter in a pan. Place 4–5 dough pieces in the pan and cook over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown; use remaining dough similarly. Serve the quark dumplings with the plums.
