Instructions

Knead the ingredients together and make a shortcrust pastry.
Then put in the fridge for about half an hour (can also be prepared the evening before).
Roll out the dough thinly into circles approx. 20 cm in diameter. Cycle into the dough strips that stop approx. 1 cm from the edge. Then pick up the strips alternately with a wooden spoon handle. As with weaving, pick up every 2 strips. Then lift the wooden spoon and form balls out of the structure. Sounds more complicated than it is. Bake the dumplings in hot fat at 180 ° C for about 6 minutes. Here you have to hold the balls in shape with 2 skimmers or buy a shape that can be bought especially for the snowballs.
Place the balls on paper towels and then sprinkle them thickly with powdered sugar. Optionally, cover with chocolate icing or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
There are x variants for the snowballs. Filling with marzipan, eggnog, etc.
