Eggless South African Snowballs
This recipe has come about from much trial and error. I have tried several recipes using egg substitutes like yogurt, apple sauce and bananas. The best results have come from the use of butter and cream. The fat content in cream binds with the flour and butter to give a crispy crust and soft center, making perfect eggless snowballs. The cream should not be whipped, simply add in liquid form. In this version of the recipe I used icing sugar instead of granular sugar, it results in a smoother texture. Something I've learned after making Danish butter cookies and chocolate shortbread.Eggless South African Snowballs Recipe
