5. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

1/4 tsp salt
150g cherry jam (5 oz.)

ACTIVE: 2 min

Cling film
Cheese grater
Baking tin 20×20 cm (8×8 inch)

Line a baking tin with baking paper.

}

ACTIVE: 20 min

PASSIVE: 18 min

COOKING

1. Place the soft (not liquid) butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer for approx. 3 minutes until creamy. Add the flour and mix until the butter is coated in flour. Then knead with your hands until smooth.

2. Wrap the dough in a layer of cling film and shape into a square. Place the dough in the freezer for approx. 1 hour.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now grate half the dough into flakes using a cheese grater. Put the other half back in the freezer.

4. Spread the flakes evenly in a baking dish. Use very little pressure to spread the flakes in the tin – DO NOT press them down. Now spread the cherry jam evenly over the flakes.

5. Now take the second half of the dough out of the freezer and grate it into flakes using the cheese grater and spread it evenly over the jam. Again, only spread the flakes with very light fingers and do not press down.

6. Bake for approx. 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the shortbread is light golden but not brown. It is best to take them out of the oven when they are lightly golden, as they will bake a little longer anyway. Leave the shortbreads to cool and cut into strips.

COOKING

1. For the dough, beat 25g butter with a pinch of salt (approx. 3 minutes) and then add the egg and mix. Now add 100g flour and the quark. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.

2. After 90 minutes, bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil. Meanwhile, transfer the dough from the fridge to a floured work surface and roll out. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Place a piece of nougat in the middle of each piece of dough, wrap evenly with dough and shape into a ball.

3. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and place the nougat balls in the boiling water. Cook the nougat balls for around 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vanilla sauce in a small pan.

4. In the meantime, melt 1.5 tablespoons of butter in a small pan and toast both 35g breadcrumbs and 35g ground hazelnuts in it, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant. Now add the sugar and stir in. Divide half of the crumbs between 4 plates.

5. As soon as the balls start to turn in the water, they are ready. Remove from the pan and drain well. Now place the balls on the crumbs on the plates. Spread the vanilla sauce over them and top with the other half of the crumbs.

6. Bring water for the pasta to the boil in a large pan and cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
