____

Ingredients:
500g flour
250g quark
2 eggs
2 tsp salt
approx. 300 ml sparkling water

Mix all the ingredients with a mixer to form a thick batter. The dough should not be too firm but also not too runny. It is best to add the sparkling water little by little.

Fill a large (!) saucepan about half full with water and bring to the boil with salt.

Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough. Amount of dough: Only the bottom tip of the spoon should be full and place it in the boiling water. Cook for about 10 minutes.

Drain in a sieve and pour into a bowl.

Melt plenty of butter or margarine (2-3 tablespoons) in a pan and fry the bacon cubes until crispy, then pour the fat over the flour dumplings.

Serve with potatoes, apple sauce and sausages or fried egg.

Tip:
Leftovers can later be cut into pieces and fried with the potatoes (or on their own) in a pan with diced bacon. Serve with a fried egg.
