Traditional recipe for real Scottish snowballs. Delicious sandwiches filled with jam and covered with a coconut glaze.
We have a few recipes that Grandma wanted to share here at Baking with Granny (which I still urge her to share with me!). One thing he wanted to revise, modernize and perfect before sharing was… Scottish snowballs.
When Grandma first told me about snowballs, I was sure she was talking about Tunnocks Chocolate Coconut Marshmallow Snowballs. And she herself is great, let’s face it!But no, grandma was talking about her snow cakes that she made at the bakery over three decades ago. Scotch
Snowballs are a whole different treat and just as delicious. One grandma remembers fondly, both were made in a bakery and have had many customers enjoying them. And when she shared a sneak peek of it on Instagram, I was surprised and delighted to see how many people knew what it was and were patiently waiting to post this recipe!
