OK, you got me, they were supposed to be Sugar Snow Balls but when they came out of the oven they turned out to be Sugar Snow PATTIES! Flat as a pancake. Columbus thought that he had it hard but I dare him to try THIS recipe. I wonder if he will discover that everything can't be round as much as you want it to be.
In the process of being a chef it is normal to make tasty mistakes. And boy, did I make A LOT! First I put too much butter, and I know that if Julia Child was here she would disagree but seriously, there was way too much butter. Second, when I put the dough on the pan, I made them like cookies.... THIRD, when I took them out you are supposed to put them in a zip lock bag filled with powdered sugar. But when I put the first patty in it was so soft that it crumbled! I decided to put the patties on a plate and poured powdered sugar over them.
Columbus wanted the world to be round. I wanted my snow balls to be round. Sometimes when you wish for something, it doesn't come true. But sometimes what you get is BETTER. Like my Snow PATTIES!!!!
I was born on Columbus Day ( that's why my Middle name is Christine- how many women do YOU know named after Christopher Columbus?? You have 6 aunts and uncles so Nana was running out of ideas...) anyway- discoveries are the best!Sometimes we discover that accidents can be beautiful and mistakes can turn out to be jewels we just couldn't see... xoxo mommy
