Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup low fat quark about 250 g
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats about 100 g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup about 50 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil or unsalted butter for frying

Method
 

  1. Add the quark, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste to a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl combine the oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the quark mixture and stir with a spoon or spatula until a thick, even batter forms.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture and the mixture thickens slightly.
  5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil or butter to coat the bottom.
  6. Scoop 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per taler into the hot pan, leaving space between each portion.
  7. Gently spread each portion with the back of the spoon to form small, even rounds about 7 to 8 cm wide.
  8. Cook the taler for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until the bottoms are golden and set around the edges.
  9. Flip carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden and the centers are cooked through.
  10. Transfer the cooked taler to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat while you cook the remaining batter.
  11. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil or butter to the pan as needed.
  12. Serve the quark taler warm, plain or with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of extra honey.

Notes

- If the batter seems too thin, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra oats and let it rest another minute.
- If the batter seems too thick, loosen it with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or extra quark.
- Keep cooked taler warm on a low oven setting while you finish the batch so they stay soft and tender.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, then reheat briefly in a skillet or toaster.
