Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Quark
  • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 4 teaspoons sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough
  • 4 teaspoons sugar, divided (for top)

  4. Unroll crescents and separate into large (roughly) squares (two per package of dough). Pinch together seams as much as possible.
  5. Measure out about 2 Tablespoons of cheese mixture and place in center of square.
  6. Take hold of two opposite corners of dough and bring to a point in the center, bringing the other two corners in to meet them, so that you are left with roughly a square filled pastry.

  8. Allow to cool and enjoy at room temperature.
  9. Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers.
