Hi, I am German and I am hoping that this is the recipe you are actually looking for - it is a twisted pastry in a ball like shape dusted with powdered sugar...........

Schneeball

3 eggs

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp soda

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp cloves

1 pt. sour cream

4-5 cups Flour or as much as needed to make a medium stiff dough

Mix the eggs and sugar together then mix in the remaining ingredients, adding the flour last in small amounts till you have a medium stiff dough.

Pinch a walnut size piece of dough and roll out into a 4 by 4 inch circle. Cut with a fluted pastry wheel or a knife into long stripes about a half inch wide.

Now take the dough stripes and carefully twist them together in a ball like shape and then deep fry till brown on one side. Flip it over and then brown on the other side. Lift out onto a plate.With a paper towel press into a ball shape again while still warm. Dust with powdered sugar.

Answer 3

German Potato Candy

one potato (a medium-sized one, maybe the size of a fist, makes a

lot....so

don't choose one that's too large)

two to three bags/boxes of confectionary sugar

peanut butter (smooth, not crunchy)

peel the potato and slice into one inch cubes, or so. boil the potato

cubes until you are able to stick a fork in each piece, lift it out of the

pot, and the potato slides easily off the fork. after that, drain the

water, and mash the potato in a large bowl. start adding the

confectionary sugar once the potato is mashed. it will get very watery at

first, so use a spoon, but after a while, the dough will harden up as the

sugar saturates it. you'll have to use your hands to knead the dough

after about 1 bag of sugar. keep adding sugar until the dough won't take

any more. then dust the countertop or cutting board with more powdered

sugar, and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. i usually have to

throw some more sugar on the dough every so often (use it instead of

flour), so it doesn't stick to the rolling pin. spread a good layer of

peanut butter on it, and carefully roll it back up. chill the roll in the

fridge for about an hour, take it out, and slice it so that each piece is

about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

a tip: don't skimp on the peanut butter. if you don't have enough, the

candy will just be too sweet to be edible. also, be sure to mash the

potato

cubes very well at the beginning.....it doesn't taste right if you end up

eating chunks of potato in the finished candy.

Answer 4

These are called "Russian Teacakes", and listed in Betty Crocker's Cookbook. I have an old one but my page is not in the book. I will try and find it. These are, yes, snowballs, great for the holidays. You use flour and plenty of butter and add either chopped or flaked walnuts, then bake. Email me so I can find the actual recipe. They are my favorite cookie.
