Quark dumplings

Melt the butter in a pan then transfer it to a large bowl with all the other dumpling ingredients except the breadcrumbs and stir until smooth. Dampen your hands, shape the mixture into small dumplings with a diameter of about 4 cm and set them aside.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil then reduce the cooktop temperature to a medium heat so the water is only gently simmering. Place the dumplings in the water and cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan, add the breadcrumbs and sugar and fry for 2 minutes over a medium heat until golden brown. Lift the quark dumplings out of the water with a slotted spoon and toss them in the buttered breadcrumbs.
