Other Indoor Snowballs Pack of 20

Product Information

Spread your jam once your snowballs are cool enough to touch but still warm. Like our Empire Biscuits, by adding the jam while the buns are warm, it acts like a glue as they cool; adding the jam when the buns have already cooled will mean they continue to slip around – not what you want when it comes to the icing and coconut! The main flavours in our snowballs come from the jam and coconut coating but we still want some sweetness in the bun to compliment these flavours. Caster sugar is ideal but in a pinch some granulated sugar could work too but may give your buns a slightly grainier texture.

I couldn’t wait to eat mine the minute I got home and would try to pinch my brother’s snowball cake too. Once you’ve made your coconut snowball cakes they will keep for a few days in a sealed container, but I bet they won’t last that long….. Can you freeze Scottish snowballs?

Now make up a thin icing with water and icing sugar and dip the cake snowballs into this. I told you this was going to get messy! If you want your snowballs to be a uniform size, you can weigh all your dough before rolling into balls; divide the total number by 20, then weigh out each ball to this individual weight. Prepare some items ahead of time. At the end of the year, things get real hectic… real fast. So do your future self a favor and begin soon. Review how to freeze cookie doughand you’ll be thankful you had a head start! Boil together gently over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until mixture reaches about 225 -230 degrees F on a candy thermometer. (The 5 to 6 minutes cooking time is usually quite accurate for me but don't start timing it until the mixture is fully at a rolling boil and don't stir the mixture while it boils.) For the record, my latest batch took exactly 6 minutes at a rolling boil and it was perfect.

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and milk. This mixture will foam up while boiling so a larger pot is recommended.) In updating this recipe I prepared a batch and let it cool down to almost room temperature before covering the bowl and refrigerating overnight. The next day, as can be seen in one of the photos above, the mixture was very easy to scoop and roll into balls. We had our first flurries of snow in the week before Thanksgiving this year. When I’m clearing several inches (hopefully not feet!) of snow off our driveway later in the winter, I shall try to remember the look of sheer joy on Little Miss Traybakes’ face when she saw the sprinkling of flakes outside. It won’t make the snow shoveling any easier but I’m hopingit’ll make me smile! It’s not the earliest I’ve ever seen snow over here and there certainly wasn’t enough to make even the smallest of snowballs, so I’ve been making these No-Bake Marshmallow Snowballs in the kitchen instead. lt;p>Sugar,&nbsp;<strong>Milk</strong>, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Skimmed&nbsp;<strong>Milk</strong>&nbsp;Powder, Whey Permeate Powder (from&nbsp;<strong>Milk</strong>), Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea),&nbsp;<strong>Milk</strong>&nbsp;Fat, Modified Starches (Tapioca, Maize), Emulsifiers (E442, E476), Flavourings, Maltodextrin, Milk Chocolate: Milk Solids 14 % minimum, Cocoa Solids 25 % minimum, Contains Vegetable Fats in addition to Cocoa Butter</p>Granny spent a lot of time experimenting to get the perfect egg ratio for Snowballs. In the end, she found one whole egg and one extra egg yolk to be just right. Don’t just bin that excess egg white though – save it make some homemade meringues. Add the boiled mixture to the dry ingredients until well combined and chill well in the fridge, until mixture is able to be shaped into 1 1/2 inch balls. The mixture will be quite soft and sloppy while it is still hot. It will not firm up until it is very well chilled. I have made these with regular sized marshmallows and with mini-marshmallows and I have to say, the regular marshmallows work much better here. The mini-marshmallows made for a smaller, cuter, truffle-sized snowball but there wasn’t enough marshmallow for me.

So what are these snowball cakes? Well, Scottish snowballs are almost like a cross between shortbread and a scone. They aren’t out and out cake-like in texture. Place the oats and 1 cup of shredded coconut in a large bowl. Set aside. (Reserve the remaining coconut for step 3.)Pull off pieces of dough about the size of a walnut and place on a lines baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes till golden.
