Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 150 g Low-fat curd
  • 7 TABLESPOONS Milk
  • 6 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 75 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 300 g + some flour
  • 1 package Baking Powder
  • 100 g Marzipan raw mass
  • 4 TABLESPOONS Apricot Jam
  • 1 Egg
  • 8 Hazelnut kernels
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the quark, 6 tablespoons of milk, oil, sugar, vanillin sugar and 1 pinch of salt with the whisks of the hand mixer. Mix 300 g flour and baking powder. Stir half of it into the quark mixture. Knead the remaining flour with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Then knead the dough with your hands to make it smooth

  2. 2

    Roll out the dough onto some flour to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut out 8 circles (approx. 13 cm Ø each) for the heads and 4 circles (approx. 5 cm Ø each) for the muzzles. Knead the dough again and again and roll it out. Punch out the nostrils with a large punched nozzle (approx. 1 cm Ø). Cut 8 oval ears (approx. 6 cm wide and 8 cm long) from the dough.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven: Electric stove: 175°C/air: 150°C/gas: stage two. Cut the ##marzipan## into cubes. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place 4 large circles of dough on top. Spread 1 tbsp. jam on the middle of each circle and spread the marzipan cubes on top. Separate the ##egg##. Beat the egg white with a fork. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tbsp. milk in the same way.

  4. 4

    Coat the edge of the circles with the egg white. Place a 2nd large circle on each and press the edges well together. Use the egg whites to stick the muzzles, ears and ##nuts## as eyes on them. Bend the ears if necessary and press the eyes well into the dough. Brush the piggies with the egg yolk. Bake them for about 20 minutes. Let them cool down
