Silesian quark dumplings

Mix the quark, egg, and flour well and stir until creamy, then fold in the raisins. Bring a large pot of water with a little salt to a boil. Using two tablespoons of the quark mixture, scoop out dumplings and place them in the boiling salted water. An old housewife’s tip: briefly dip the spoon in the hot water before each dumpling so the dough doesn’t stick to the spoon. Let it simmer over low heat until the dumplings float to the surface – about 10 to 15 minutes. It’s best to remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon. While the dumplings are simmering in the hot water, heat the butter and mix the sugar with the cinnamon. To eat, pour the melted butter over the dumplings and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Of course, you can also serve them with applesauce or compote instead of cinnamon sugar and butter. But the original recipe is cinnamon sugar and butter.
