Start by preparing the ingredients for a half recipe of German donuts.

Measure out 250 grams of flour and 125 grams of sugar.

Add 3 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour and mix them together.

Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the sugar.

Add 250 grams of quark to the egg and sugar mixture; if quark is unavailable, substitute with smooth cottage cheese or cream cheese.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to form a dough.

Heat vegetable oil in a smaller pot to a temperature between 300°F and 350°F; ensure there is enough oil to submerge the donuts.

To check if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of dough; it should fry immediately.

Using two teaspoons, drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Monitor the oil temperature; if it gets too hot (over 350°F), reduce the heat to maintain a steady temperature.

Fry the donuts until they are golden brown, turning them as needed to ensure even cooking.

If the donuts cook too quickly and become too dark, remove them and allow the oil to cool slightly before continuing.

Let the donuts cool on a paper towel-lined bowl to drain excess oil.

Once cooled, roll the donuts in regular sugar before serving.
