The formal name to this is Russian Tea Cakes but growing up my mother always called them Rudolf Balls.  The recipe I got from allrecipes.com

Original recipe makes 2 dozen

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  3. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. I also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time.

Perfect yummy pancakes

Perfect Pancakes

http://www.recipe.com/perfect-pancakes/


For a family size of 8 I usually triple the recipe.  This recipe has not been tripled.

1 1/2  cups
all-purpose flour
  • 3   tablespoons 
    granulated sugar
  • 4   teaspoons 
    baking powder
  • 1/8  teaspoon 
    salt

  •  
  • 2   
    eggs
  • 1   cup 
    milk
  • 1/4  cup 
    vegetable oil

  •  
    Mix up all the ingredients.  Pour onto hot griddle.  Serve.  I like my pancakes a bit on the thin side so I had to use more milk to thin it out a tad.
