What you’ll need

Tap an ingredient as you get it ready.

• 250 g flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 250 g butter
• 1 package curd cheese (e.g. quark or farmer cheese)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 egg white
• Jam (or nut cream)

Let’s make it

1. Step 1

   Mix the flour with the baking powder, and rub in the butter. Then, add the curd and the salt, and knead it into dough.

2. Step 2

   Let the dough rest in the fridge for 1 hour.

3. Step 3

   Roll the dough to about 2 mm thick, and cut it into 10 cm squares.

4. Step 4

   Put a blob of jam in the middle of each square, and fold them diagonally. Press the edges to seal the tascherl.

5. Step 5

   Brush a bit of the egg white onto each tascherl, and place onto a baking sheet.

6. Step 6

   Preheat the oven to 180°C, put the tascherl into the oven, and bake them for approximately 20 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Before serving, dust some sugar onto the tascherl to add some extra flavour.
