This is very quick and easy, but oh so delightful. If you can’t get hold of curds (quark) you may use ricotta instead. I usually serve with berry jelly (rote Grütze). You might add rum soaked raisins to the filling, that’s a matter of preference. You might want to prepare real Strudel pastry, see recipe 466452 for how to make that…
This old recipe is from my grandmother’s recipe box. I’m not sure where she got it. I do remember eating them at her house during christmas past. My sister and I would use one finger each in the center hole and try and tear the cookie apart kind of like a wishbone. Who ever got the bigger section won and, of course, we each would keep winning and that meant eating more cookies. The time does not include overnight in the refridgerator.
