We've wanted to try making Schneeballen for 20 years. For a long time we didn't know which country this pastry came from, but now we've learned for the first time that it can be eaten in Austria and Germany. Schneeballen seems to have the meaning of a snowball, so it's a pastry that is just right for this season. It might even be fun to take advantage of the cute round shape to decorate it in the style of a Christmas ornament. Because a specialty frying mold is expensive, we used a "ball-shaped strainer," normally used when you strain things like soup stock. It's a fried pastry, but the whole family praised it for not having a heavy flavor.
*Recipe* (Makes 3 round balls with a diameter of 6.5 cm)
1. Into your food processor (you can also knead by hand in a bowl), add 65g of all-purpose flour (if you don't have any, you can substitute half bread flour and half cake flour), 7g of powdered sugar (3/4 tbsp), and a pinch of salt. Mix ingredients together lightly, as if you're gently shaking it.
2. Add 3 medium-sized eggs (about 60g when they're still in the shell) and rum 5g (1 tsp) ,a small amount of vanilla extract, then knead.
3. Once you have finished kneading it, cut the dough (ours was 122g) into three equal pieces, and make them into balls.
4. Cover it with plastic wrap or something similar, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
5. Lightly cover the surface of the table with bread flour, then take the results from step #4 and stretch them thin using a rolling pin.
6. Cut them into slits with a roller cutter, about 1 cm wide. Try to make it so that they are not cut off completely from each other, but still have about 1 cm from the edge left over.
7. With your hand pick up every other piece, and then stretch and place them as in the video.
8. Take your thinly sliced parchment paper (33 cm long) and fold it in two. As shown in the video, tuck the parchment paper into the dough, then loosely form it into a round shape. The parchment paper is easy to take off after it's been fried, so tuck it in tightly.
9. Put the results of step #8 in the ball-shaped strainer, and close firmly.
10. Put the results of step #9 in a whisking machine, and make it so it does not move.
11. In oil heated to 180 degrees, stir the results of step #9 around, while frying for 2 minutes.
12. Remove the ball-shaped strainer from the whisking machine, and then remove the Schneeballen from the ball-shaped strainer. (It will be hot so please wear oven mitts.)
13. Once it has completely cooled, sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
14. Enjoy decorating it with a ribbon.
15. When you eat it, you can garnish it by whisking together a mixture with a ratio of 200 ml of fresh cream for each 20g of sugar.
Note: A ball-shaped strainer with a diameter of 6.5 cm (144 cubic cm) was just the right amount for 40g of the dough. Please adjust the amount of dough in accordance to the size of the ball-shaped strainer.
