It took me a couple of trials to get the shape right, taking suggestions from other sources. But meanwhile they have become a weekly regular at our table and probably one of my very favorite savory baked treats.

It is one of my favorite recipes from my new cookbook Sweets- if you need to impress or win people over with a sweet treat, these tarteletts are a sure bet.

We’ll kick off with a regional sweet delicacy called Schneeballen (translates to “snowballs”), which is pretty common in various parts of Bavaria, especially during winter season.
