Posted by : Lita Sweets: Snowballs: Heizenblozen - pareve
Hi all - hope you enjoy this recipe from our Council cookbook that has to be at least 30 years old - The one I have was my Mother's and is a bit tattered with no covers etc. Lita. Snowballs or Heizenblozen for Chanukah 2 eggs pinch salt 1 1/8 cups flour 1/2 cup powdered sugar (Icing sugar) 1 Tbsp cinnamon Vegetable oil for deep frying Mix first three ingredients and knead until soft and elastic. Roll out on a floured board to a thin sheet. Cut into 2-inch squares with a pastry cutter. Make a slit through the centre of each square and pull one corner through the slit. Drop into deep hot oil and fry until a delicate brown, turning if necessary. They fry quickly and must be watched so that they do not become too brown. They will puff up into all sorts of odd shapes while frying. Drain off on absorbant paper and while hot, dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon. As a variety, these can be made in the shape of a rosette, or perhaps a pinwheel. Jewish Holiday Cooking from J.C.J.W. cookbook Vancouver, B.C.
