Knead the ingredients together to make a shortcrust pastry. Then chill for about half an hour (can also be prepared the evening before). Roll out the dough thinly into circles about 20 cm in diameter. Cut strips into the dough, stopping about 1 cm from the edge. Then pick up the strips alternately with the handle of a wooden spoon. Like weaving, pick up every two strips. Then lift the wooden spoon and form the dough into balls. It sounds more complicated than it is. Fry the dough dumplings in 180°C hot oil for about 6 minutes. To do this, you first need to hold the balls in shape with two skimmer spoons or buy a special mold, which you can buy specifically for snowballs. Place the balls on kitchen paper and then dust them thickly with powdered sugar. You can also cover them with chocolate glaze or sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar. There are many variations of snowballs. Filling with marzipan, eggnog, etc.
