"Ollie-bollen, or (Oliebollen) is a dutch pastry similar to a doughnut.
It typically is a deep fried pastry filled with raisins and dusted with
powdered sugar. Some modern variations serve them topped with berry
filling, but this is a traditional recipe. Oliebollen are a traditional
treat on New Year's"
Ingredients
1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
3/4 cup dried currants
3/4 cup raisins
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and finely chopped
1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Add all ingredients to list
Directions
Break up the compressed yeast, and stir into the warm milk. Let
stand for a few minutes to dissolve. Sift the flour and salt into a
large bowl. Stir the yeast mixture and egg into the flour and mix into a
smooth batter. Stir in the currants, raisins and apple. Cover the bowl,
and leave the batter in a warm place to rise until double in size. This
will take about 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, or heavy deep pan to 375 degrees F
(190 degrees C). Use 2 metal spoons to shape scoops of dough into balls,
and drop them carefully into the hot oil.
Fry the balls until golden brown, about 8 minutes. The doughnuts
should be soft and not greasy. If the oil is not hot enough, the outside
will be tough and the insides greasy. Drain finished doughnuts on paper
towels and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve them piled on a dish
with more confectioners' sugar dusted over them. Eat them hot if
possible.
