I think my mom’s recipe is all in her head. I do know that she tends to add some lemon peel zest into the dumpling mix which gives it just the faintest citrus smell/taste prior to the butter and brown sugar being added at the end.
Will do, thanks! I totally get having the tweaks in your head or written into the family recipe book with a pen. Our better homes cookbook has tons of notes/tweaks written into it now.
It could easily be a family recipe. It looks like riffs on this theme are pretty common. Maybe it was a Hungarian recipe? Sounds like a great mystery!
She responded immediately. It’s called “Quark Klöße” according to her.
Looks like the specific ingredients and prep are a family thing, but that’s definitely what it’s based on.
Now I can rest easy. It was gonna drive me crazy if I couldn’t remember the name of the food. Haha
This seems pretty close to what you described: https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/166041072019596/Suesse-Quarkkloesse.html
It sounds good / I’m thinking about giving them a go. If you find a better recipe let me know.

Bed of luck. Let me know how you like em.

I should probably ask my mom to write down her recipes for posterity sake at some point. I think my sister knows some of them .
I think they are called Topfenknödel in German, i remember my family making them as well, served with jam, they are delicious!
That Hungarian dish looks visually the closest but it was definitely made with wet cottage cheese.
I am absolutely going to butcher the name/spelling but it was called “cvlockclusa” in my house. I’ll ask my mom how it’s spelt.
