Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract together. Pour the egg mixture into the flour-butter mixture.
4. Use a spatula or your hands to mix the dough until it comes together. The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add a little extra butter. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
5. Divide the dough into small portions and shape each piece into a ball. You can make them the size of golf balls for reference.
6. Heat oil in a medium-sized saucepan to around 350°F (180°C).
7. Gently lower a few dough balls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry them for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown, turning them occasionally for even cooking. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
8. Once cooked, remove the Schneeballen from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Let the Schneeballen cool slightly before dusting them generously with powdered sugar. Feel free to get creative and add drizzles of melted chocolate or caramel, or sprinkle with festive edible glitter for a whimsical touch.
10. Serve these delightful Schneeballen on a decorative platter and enjoy them with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite warm beverage.
A Schneeballen Hunt Before I Mess All The Recipes Together And Try My Own is a whimsical treat that is as fun to make as it is delightful to eat. These powdered sugar-coated snowballs will bring a touch of whimsy to any gathering or afternoon snack. Get ready to enchant your taste buds with this charming German pastry!
