Ingredients
- 25 g Flour, all-purpose

- Beat the cottage cheese (standing in for quark) with a third of the remaining butter, half the remaining sugar, the cornstarch and half the milk until smooth; spread over the base.
- Beat the egg yolks with the last of the butter, sugar, milk and the vanilla until creamy, then whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them in gently.
- Pour this custard layer over the quark layer.
- Bake at 170 °C (340 °F) for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden and only slightly wobbly in the centre.
- Cool completely in the tin (it firms up as it cools) before slicing.
