Oliebollen
Cook: 35 mins
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup finely chopped apple (optional)
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Cooking oil for deep-fat frying
- Sifted powdered sugar
Directions
1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir in the raisins and, if you like, apple. Make a well in the center. Combine eggs, milk, the 1/4 cup cooking oil, and the vanilla; add to flour mixture. Mix thoroughly.
2. In a large saucepan or deep-fat fryer, drop by tablespoons, 3 or 4 at a time, into deep, hot oil (365 degree F). Cook about 3 minutes or until golden, turning once. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes about 36.
This recipe tastes just like the oliebollen my ex and I could get in Alkmaar. I would buy ones without apple or raisins, but adding fruit to it is authentically Dutch.
