Oliebollen

This is really delicious deepfry baking, typically eaten at New Year but they're already selling them in these cute booths. It's a lot like a doughtnut but in a form of a ball. You can get them plain or filled with stuff like raisins, pieces of apple or nuts. You can also buy the readymade flourmix but last year I wanted to make it all from the beginning.

for 25 oliebollen:

500g flour
1tsp salt
30g fresh yeast or 15g dry yeast
4,5dl milk
1tsp sugar
(50g raisins, 1 apple, 50g crushed walnuts)
oil for deepfrying
icing sugar

Mix flour and salt in a big bowl. Add yeast in handwarm milk and add sugar when yeast has dissolved. Make a hole in the flourmix and add the yeastmix little by little, mixing everything together until you have smooth paste. If you want to raisins or nuts, add them now and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic foil and place it in warm place for atleast half an hour.

Heat the oil until 160 Celsius. Take 2 spoons and dip them in oil and a mix a ball from the dough. Drop them in the oil and let them stay for about 6 minutes, until they're goldenbrown and firm. Take them out of the oil and rest them on kitchen paper. Cover them with icing sugar.
