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

  2. 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.

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

    4. COOK THE OLIEBOLLEN

  4. 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.

     

  5. 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.

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!

  • Julie73: The beer is the "yeast" and I never worry...

    Julie73: The beer is the "yeast" and I never worry about what temp the beer or milk is although you should probably have it at room temp. Hope you give these a go on NYE. Apologies for delay in responding to your question. (yep, 3 years because I was never notified of your comment/question x)

    Very eager to make these this weekend. I'm not a great cook tmrc_emoticons.;) but am surprised this recipe doesn't require an egg or yeast.

    Also, what temperature is the milk and beer? Cold or warm?

    Thanks for your help
