These St Martin's geese made from quark and oil dough are made every year for St Martin's Day. The dough is easy to mix and with a suitable cookie cutter, the little geese turn out particularly well. At the Hessenpark Open-Air Museum, we delight young and old alike when the little pastries come fresh from the wood fired oven.
