Who throws the first snowball? :) Zaprosiłabym you to battle with snow, had not a sudden thaw and (spring?) Melt. Therefore, snow snowballs will not, but it will be fragile balls of snow ", which popped me with a pot of hot grease on a wave of madness carnival pastries and" wysmażeń ")
well know that I enjoy culinary travel, not only with a backpack and a ticket in my pocket, but also your finger on the map and the book pages of regulations. Last year at this time, in this way I chose to Sweden to try the local carnival queen, a kardamonowej rolls with marzipan, whipped cream przekładanej called Semla . I decided to go for the blow, and this year look to our western neighbors and their sweet, carnival proposals. Specyjał I found that in terms of flavor, nature and the form can become the reins of our crisp. And the choice is not easy, because everyone has to decide subjectively whether the will of the delicate, thin, brittle ribbons, ribbons, or a wad of crisp, formed into a ball, which after farrowing looks like powdered sugar and White:)
Schneeballen come from the Bavarian Rothenburg, situated picturesquely on the river Tauber. Shortbread biscuits, fried in clarified butter and molded into a ball served to have been characteristic for the first time in 1719, when the inspections at the local mill. Today you can buy them in every bakery in Rothenburg offer flavored non-restrictive in the least to the classic cake with icing sugar oprószonego, imparting to them the rightful "snowy" look. Besides it is easy to find pudrowanych balls Cocoa balls, cinnamon, walnut, covered with chocolate etc. In the end, everyone knows that snow is not always white;)
However, I stayed at the white, this classic of the powder prepared according to instructions from Culinaria Germany. I must admit that Schneeballen own works are not very easy. While the cake is grateful to the preparation and wygniataniu (definitely the best kind of relaxation therapy - kneading dough, or that the Schneeballen Faworki or after a stressful and frustrating job:)), then fry the balls shaped and graceful poses some problems. Pie crust dough in contact with hot fat begins to live his own life, taking the shape does not always correspond to those which we set and difficult to subdue. Original snowballs are fried in a special form of metal, resembling a large perforated spoon for ice cream with wooden handles, protecting against sunburn. The house is best mid-size metal sieve, and preferably two identical, which, when assembled will form something like the desired form, which can be trapped and then fry the dough ball. In any case, you form a ball of hot, because the fast crumbles. But I promise - once a year worth torture, because the cakes are very tasty:)
snow balls (Schneeballen):
4 egg yolks, 3 egg whites
,
50 g (3 tablespoons) soft butter
40 g (2.5 tbsp) sugar, about 2 cups
flour,
pinch of salt, powdered sugar
clarified butter or oil for frying
butter, sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy homogeneous mass. Proteins with a pinch of salt beat to foam, and gently mix with the mass of yolk. Add the flour gradually, starting with one glass. Knead dough, which should have a soft texture, but does not stick to hands and allow the form into a ball. It should also be shiny and silky to the touch, so no rush really - kneading should take about 10-15 minutes, he's so good:)
cake wrapped with foil and let it rest about an hour in the refrigerator.
roll the chilled dough oprószonym floured countertop, najcieniej as possible (as in Faworki). Large glass or metal cutting wheel rim. Each circle cut repeatedly with a knife or a striker wheel in the middle, leaving the dough around the edge (see photo above). A long toothpick or wooden spoon handle przepleść the cut strips of dough over and over again to raise up your hands and form a ball.
Heat clarified butter or oil, then fry the dough balls (if they lose shape during frying, you need to re-form them still warm). Fried snowballs and coat with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, polukrować spread with melted chocolate or as desired.
