The new year is just around the corner and it is time for donuts and apple turnovers. Anyway, how do you make a tasty oliebol or apple turnovers? here some ideas for the most delicious oliebollen and apple turnovers. Another small tip before you get started: the oil should not get hotter than 180 degrees and always try to use sunflower oil when you are baking.
Recipe for oliebollen
- 500 ml of milk
- 500 gr flour
- 1 egg
- 1 bag of dried yeast
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- sunflower oil for frying
- powdered sugar
Stuffing (you could of course omit this, depending on your preference)
- 2 goldreinets, peeled and cubed
- 100 grams of raisins (day before just soak in the rum or a tasty liqueur)
- 50 grams of currants
- 50 grams of sukade pieces
- half a lemon
Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature. Next, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Then add a beaten egg to the batter and add the milk. Stir the batter nice and smooth. Then squeeze half a lemon over the apple cubes and mix it with the raisins, currants, candied peel and a little bit of flour, then add the filling to the batter and put the batter in a large container and cover well. Now let the batter rise until it has doubled in volume.
Turn on the fryer and wait for the oil to reach 180 degrees. Now you can bake the oliebollen, but make sure you have a drained container with some kitchen paper nearby so that you can put the oliebollen there. It is best to scoop the batter to use an ice tong for this. Then wait two minutes and then turn the bulbs over in the fat. After about 5 minutes you have a few nice oliebollen.
After the oliebollen have been drained, you can add the icing sugar.
