How to Make High Protein Quark Taler
Get ready to whip up these delicious High Protein Quark Taler in no time! This recipe is wonderfully simple, delivering a satisfying, slightly chewy texture with a surprisingly creamy interior, thanks to the star ingredient: quark. With a preparation time of just 10 minutes and a quick 15-minute cook time, you can enjoy these guilt-free delights before you know it.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Quark Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 250g of quark with the large egg. Whisk them together thoroughly until smooth and well-integrated. Ensure there are no lumps of quark remaining. If you’re adding any optional liquid sweeteners like honey or vanilla extract, you can stir them in at this stage as well.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the 50g of whole wheat flour (or oat flour), 20g of protein powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. If you are using cinnamon or other dry flavorings, mix them in here with the dry ingredients. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and protein.
Integrate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet quark and egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps of flour are perfectly fine. The batter should be thick but still spoonable, similar to a pancake batter consistency. If it seems too thick, you can add a tiny splash of milk or water.
Form the Talers: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. You can add a tiny amount of oil or cooking spray if your pan isn’t very non-stick, but generally, it’s not necessary. Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully drop them onto the hot pan, forming small, round patties, roughly 2-3 inches in diameter. Aim to keep them relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
Cook the Talers: Cook each side of the High Protein Quark Taler for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. You’ll see small bubbles forming on the surface, which is a good indicator it’s time to flip. Gently flip each taler with a spatula and cook the other side until similarly golden brown and firm to the touch.
Serve Warm: Once cooked, remove the High Protein Quark Taler from the pan and place them on a plate. They are best enjoyed warm, straight from the pan.

Storing and Reheating Tips
To store your delicious High Protein Quark Taler, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Place the cooled talers on a baking sheet in a single layer until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To reheat, you can gently warm them in a non-stick skillet over low heat for a few minutes per side until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 30-60 seconds, or until warm. If reheating from frozen, allow them to thaw slightly in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat as you would refrigerated talers.
