Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine well-drained quark, flour, sugar, baking powder, and a beaten egg. Stir until a smooth dough forms, ensuring no lumps.
  2. Preheat your Airfryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Shape the dough into uniform balls, roughly the size of a golf ball, about 10 minutes.
  4. Lightly spray or brush each quark ball with neutral oil.
  5. Place the oiled quark balls in the Airfryer basket and cook for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
