Marzipan Pastries

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the marzipan into cubes and mix with apricot jam and cream until smooth.

Stir the quark, milk, oil, sugar and vanilla sugar together in a bowl until smooth.

Mix the flour and baking powder, add to the quark mixture and briefly knead into a soft dough.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out thinly into a rectangle.

Cut the dough into strips about 8 cm wide and place the marzipan filling in the middle of each strip. Fold one side over the filling, brush the other side with milk and fold it over.

Cut each strip into pieces about 4 cm wide, place them seam-side down on the sheet and brush the tops with milk.

Bake the marzipan pastries for about 15 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
