This recipe was handed down to me by my mother. It is a Dutch favorite on New Year's Day. I spent New Year's Day with my in-laws for the first time and brought this tradition with me. They were very impressed with this delicious doughnut-like treat.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
½ cup lukewarm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups chopped apple
1 cup raisins
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
white sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • Warm oven on lowest possible temperature setting.
  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a small mixing bowl. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the eggs, yeast mixture, and milk; beat with an electric mixer until blended.
  • Turn off the oven. Cover the prepared dough with a greased piece of plastic wrap, and place the bowl of dough on the lowest rack of the warmed oven. Allow to rest and rise for 1 hour.
  • Heat the oil for frying to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a heavy bottomed, deep skillet.
  • Mix the apples and raisins into the dough. Then, carefully slide the dough by heaping teaspoons into the preheated oil. Do not crowd the pan. Fry the fritters until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. They should turn over on their own when they are ready to brown on the other side, but keep an eye on them and flip them as necessary. Remove them to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining dough. Dust with sugar while warm.

I thought the recipe was a bit confusing. It would have been helpful if there were more step-by-step instructions.

These oliebollen were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good.

I tried this recipe twice and both times the oliebollen were undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my oliebollen turned out flat and greasy.
