These pancakes have it all: the texture is like eating clouds; the flavor hints at Käsekuchen; the recipe is super fast and easy to make; and with 31 grams of protein per serving thanks to Wünder Creamery Quark, they keep you full and satisfied for hours unlike other sugar-packed pancake breakfasts. So dig in, make another batch, dig in again and maybe share that time. 😉 If you have not yet tried Wünder Creamery Quark, it's about time. Order all the quark you want and take 15 percent off your purchase by using code SOPHIE15 at checkout. Their quark is the closest to German quark I have been able to find in the US. Creamy, non-tart and delicious, just as quark should be. I also love their flavored quark as they're just barely sweet, especially the coffee flavor.
If you're wanting to enjoy these pancakes as Germans would, I would also make the super simple and quick, spiced apple sauce that I smothered my pancakes in. It comes together in a matter of 15 minutes including the chopping, coring and dicing. I would suggest an immersion blender (absolutely love mine), which makes things quick and easier to clean up. I used Gala apples in my recipe and just a touch of brown sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. After partially pureeing the apples (I like my apple sauce chunky), I added just a touch of warming vanilla. JUST LECKER!
Finally, finish your stack of pancakes with a spoonful of quark on top. It's the only right way to eat these. So good and will make them again and again! Guten Appetit! Scroll on down for the recipe, now in printable version.

I have created a Döner recipe for you before, but up next is a salad version of this very popular sandwich.
