Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour and milk to the mixture, alternating between the two. Mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch round cake pan. Press the dough into the pan to form the base.
-
Bake the base for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled base.
-
Roll out the second portion of dough and cut into shapes to resemble snowflakes or castle turrets. Place the cutouts on top of the whipped cream.
-
Dust the top of the snow castle with powdered sugar and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
-
Chill the snow castle in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
-
Slice and serve the Great Snow Castle chilled.
