My in-laws are coming to stay with us for a few days and they love these so I was forced to make some. Usually I am too lazy to make these.
Eggless Snowball Recipe
It is a little process to make and you should know I love easy. Today I was in the mood for therapy and I must admit this was therapeutic. For a while I didn’t have the motivation to cook or bake or create new recipes. I thought this was the end of my blogging journey. However, after my little break I feel great again. Now I can’t stop. I love my kitchen so so much because it helps me with my stress. And I honestly don’t have to think about a thing, Let’s just say I am so disappointed with people. Honestly, the less people I know on this earth the better off I am. People just constantly disappoint you no matter how hard you try to be good to them. The sad thing is that there’s hardly anyone you can honestly trust and count on. We live in a sad world where there is no loyalty or compassion anymore. And then we wonder why the world is the way it is. Full of sadness, destruction and evil. Maybe if we all strive to be good people the world may just transform into the paradise some of us wish for. If you’re wondering about me I think I am a good person. Yes, I have my flaws, don’t we all. But if someones needs my help I go out of my way for them. I am a loyal friend and I consider myself trustworthy. I love people and if you make the time for me I do the same for you. I also believe charity begins at home. First and foremost I ensure nobody in my family is starving and everyone is taken care off before I give to other charities. Yes I am very much about giving. The money I earn mostly goes towards helping others and that gives me great joy. We don’t have to be perfect human beings, we just have to care a little.
Ingredients required
The great thing about this recipe is that you only need a few basic ingredients. Nothing out of this world and often most of us have all the ingredients in our pantry. For this recipe you will need butter, castor sugar, icing sugar, condensed milk but that’s optional, self-raising flour, yogurt and desiccated coconut. It is an eggless recipe so no eggs, however there is a recipe on my blog for ones with eggs. I don’t whether to refer to the dough as a biscuit or cake dough. It is more like a biscuit dough.
How to make snowballs
Firstly the butter, sugar and condensed milk is beaten until light and fluffy. About 5 minutes. I prefer to use a stand mixer for this. It is difficult to beat for long with your hands. The yogurt is then mixed in and you add the flour. You never mix in all the flour if you’re making a biscuit or cookie like dough. Always add little bits of flour. Weather affects the moisture content in flour. Your dough shouldn’t be too soft or too firm, just soft enough to roll them into round balls without cracking when rolled. The dough is then made into round balls. It is placed on a baking sheet and baked for 10-12 minutes. There will be cracks due to the round shape. But don’t despair, they get covered up when dipped in the syrup and covered with coconut. You can flatten them a little to prevent too many cracks, if you wish. I tested both ways and yes when they are slightly flat there isn’t that much cracks.
I promise that these Eggless Snowballs tastes exactly like those I remember eating when I was young. Try it yourself and let me know. More recipes to try: Easy Lamingtons Recipe Queen Cakes Super Moist Red Velvet Cake If you loved this, please share!
