Bring a large pot of water with salt and sugar to a boil.

Mix soft butter with a hand mixer.

Incorporate quark, eggs, and salt into the butter mixture.

Gradually mix in the flour to form a smooth dough.

Shape the dough into a roll and cut out twelve equal pieces.

With wet hands, quickly wrap the apricots in the dough to form dumplings.

Place the dumplings into the simmering water and cook for about 15 minutes just below boiling point.

Be careful as boiling water can cause the dumplings to fall apart.

Meanwhile, toast bread crumbs in butter until golden brown.

Lift the dumplings from the broth with a slotted spoon and immediately roll them in the toasted bread crumbs.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy warm.
