Fruity Vanilla Pastries

Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions and set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 150°C (convection) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a bowl, stir together the quark, 6 tbsp milk, oil, sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.

In a second bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.

Stir half of the flour mixture into the quark mixture, then briefly knead in the remaining flour until a smooth dough forms.

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut out about 10 circles of approximately 12 cm diameter.

Spoon some pudding into the center of each dough circle and fold the circles from three sides toward the center, leaving the middle open.

Place the pastries on the baking tray. Beat the egg yolk with 1 tbsp milk, brush the pastries with it and sprinkle with pearl sugar.

Bake the vanilla pastries for 15–20 minutes until golden yellow.

Allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack and then place 1 tsp raspberry or strawberry jam in the center of each.
