Recipe's preparation

    SOAK THE DRIED FRUIT
  1. Soak the dried fruit in boiling water for 3 minutes.  Drain and add to a large bowl. Set aside with diced apple (if using).

  2. MAKE THE BATTER
  3. Add the milk, beer, flour and salt to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 secs / speed 5.   Scrape down walls with spatula and repeat mixing for another 10 secs / speed 5 until batter is smooth.

  4. Pour batter onto fruit and mix well by hand.

  5. COOK THE OLIEBOLLEN
  6. Heat oil in deep fryer to 180°C.  

    Remove basket (oliebol batter tends to wrap around basket which is not good).  If the heating element is visible wrap alfoil around it (to make a flat "plate" at the bottom). This will prevent the batter from wrapping around the element too.

     
  7. Add spoon fulls of mixture to the hot oil and cook for about 5-8 minutes (depending on size) until golden and cooked through.

     

    Drain on paper towel and allow to cool slightly before sprinkling with icing sugar. Stack the oliebollen into a mountain sprinking icing sugar over each layer. Give one more sprinkling over the whole pile before serving.

     

  8. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Tip

I just saw another blog on how to make oliebollen and it was suggested to use one of those round ice-cream scoops that has the swinging arm (to release the icecream)... must try that next year!!  The oliebollen on the other blog were a perfect ball shape!
