1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix the quark with the eggs and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl with the flour and mix until well combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes – this will help the flour to absorb some moisture.

2. While the dough rests, heat up frying fat/oil in a small saucepan to a temperature of about 350°F (180°C). Make sure there is enough fat/oil in the saucepan, so the dough can swim freely.

3. Use an ice cream scoop* (Ø 2 inches) to scoop out dough and then carefully drop it into the hot fat/oil. Do not fry too many dough portions at once so the temperature of the fat/oil does not drop too much. Deep-fry the quark balls until golden brown (it takes about 4-6 minutes). Remove the deep-fried balls from the fat/oil at and place them on several layers of kitchen paper so they can drain.

4. Mix sugar and vanilla sugar in a small bowl. Roll the still-hot quark balls in the mixture. Serve the quark balls slightly warm.
