Heat the clarified butter in a deep fryer or saucepan to approximately 180°C (test: if you dip a wooden spoon into the fat, small bubbles will rise). Make a dough from the listed ingredients. Roll out the dough to approximately 3 mm thick and cut out squares with sides measuring approximately 20 cm. Using the pastry wheel, cut another 1-1.5 cm wide strip into each piece of dough, leaving a border all around. Pick up every other strip with the handle of a wooden spoon (like weaving) and drop the snowball into the hot fat. Hold it together with two forks at first to keep it round. Fry until golden brown, remove from the fat, and drain well. Once cooled and sprinkled with powdered sugar, they taste simply delicious! TIP: The snowballs can be stored in a tightly sealed container for up to a week (if they aren’t eaten before then!!)
