And yes, it is quark that is used in blintzes as well. I've used <a href="http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/polishnalesnikicrepes/r/sweetcheese.htm" rel="nofollow">this recipe</a> for a sweeter blintz, which is just lovely. I'd love to have your recipe - can you send it to mellie AT tummyrumbles dot com ? Thanks! Hi Susie – from what I understand bakers cheese and quark are the same thing.

It was fairy large but good. It had a short crust. My original question had been whether or not quark and bakers cheese (as was called at the Cheese shop) were one and the same. It seems the answer is yes but perhaps you know? Would the Quark (or bakers cheese) be what is put into Cheese blintz's? I've tried for a long time to make them like I get in the polish deli, but haven't come up with the right cheese. Maybe quark is it! thanks for posting your recipe. I'd be happy to send mine if you'd like it. susie I recently made a Quark cheesecake which was similar to yours. It was fairy large but good. It had a short crust.

Custard Powder is basically a corn starch mix, that contains a few extras such as vanilla, annatto (for colour). You could substitute corn starch in the recipe, perhaps with a teaspoon of vanilla added. Alternatively, I believe you have a brand in the US called Birds, or you can definitely find custard powder in most Asian or Indian Grocers. It's a very UK thing, and I guess something that is also readily available here in Australia too. Good luck with your search. This recipe is worth it. Hi there Catherine!

I am looking and looking for a recipe for a German cheesecake that a family bakery in Illinois made in the 1950s...this might be similar but am baffled by the ingredient "custard powder." Thanks.
