Oliebollen are Dutch pastries similar to doughnuts. These deep-fried treats are typically filled with raisins and dusted with powdered sugar. Some modern variations are served with berry filling, but this is a traditional recipe. Oliebollen are a popular treat on New Year’s. Eat them hot if possible!
Ingredients
- 1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup dried currants
- ¾ cup raisins
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple – peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Break up compressed yeast and stir into warm milk. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve.
Step 2
Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in yeast mixture and egg until smooth. Stir in currants, raisins, and apple. Cover the bowl and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 4
Use two metal spoons to shape scoops of dough into 12 balls. Drop them carefully into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Dust doughnuts with confectioners' sugar. Transfer to a serving platter and dust with more confectioners' sugar.
Tips
The doughnuts should be soft and not greasy. If the oil is not hot enough, the outsides will be tough and the insides will be greasy.
