Recipe for Ollie Bollen? Dutch treat?

Question

this is a dough that has fruits in it and is deep fried. My in-laws are Dutch and I thought it would be cool to make this for them Christmas Eve

Answer 1

OLIEBOLLEN (aka DUTCH DOUGHNUTS)

INGREDIENTS
1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
3/4 cup dried currants
3/4 cup raisins
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and finely chopped
1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting


DIRECTIONS
Break up the compressed yeast, and stir into the warm milk. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir the yeast mixture and egg into the flour and mix into a smooth batter. Stir in the currants, raisins and apple. Cover the bowl, and leave the batter in a warm place to rise until double in size. This will take about 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, or heavy deep pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use 2 metal spoons to shape scoops of dough into balls, and drop them carefully into the hot oil.

Fry the balls until golden brown, about 8 minutes. The doughnuts should be soft and not greasy. If the oil is not hot enough, the outside will be tough and the insides greasy. Drain finished doughnuts on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve them piled on a dish with more confectioners' sugar dusted over them. Eat them hot if possible.

Editor's Note: We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Answer 4

Haven't thought of that recipe in a long time. My next door neighbors (when I was a teenager) were Indonesian-Dutch. He told me that when they were in Holland, the males mad the Oliebollen - not the women - and the women were kept out of the kitchen during the making. But he was kind enough to share the recipe with me.

Here's the recipe:

OLIEBOLLEN

2/3 c scalded milk
1/3 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 c soft butter
2 pkgs yeast dissolved in 2 T warm water
5 eggs
4 - 4 1/2 c flour
1 c raisins
2 c shredded apple

Pour scalded milk over the sugar, salt and butter. Stir to melt the butter. When cooled, add the dissolved yeast. Beat in the eggs and then the flour, using enough to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead lightly and then roll the dough out on a floured board. Spread the raisins and apples over the dough. Fold the dough over and work the fruits into the dough. Place in a large buttered bowl, turn over to coat, cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down and pinch off pieces of dough. Place the pieces on a lightly floured board and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Fry in deep hot fat. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot. (These are even good cold)

Here's another dessert they will know all about:

STEAM CAKE

1 water glass of flour
1 water glass of sugar
6 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Beat sugar and eggs until very light and airy. Add the flour by tablespoonfuls with the mixer on slow. Cover the inside of the steamer basket with 2 layers of cheesecloth. Gently scoop the batter into the basket and fold the cheesecloth over the top. Place the steamer over boiling water and steam for 1 hour. This comes out a very pale yellow and looks like a big sponge in it's texture. You will find it is pleasantly sweet but not too sweet. The Dutch will sometimes spread it with butter but I enjoy it more just the way it is. You cut it into pie-shaped slices.

Enjoy!

Answer 5

OLLIE BOLLEN

1 qt. milk
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. shortening
1 c. raisins
1 pkg. dry yeast
3 medium-sized apples
3 eggs
6 c. flour (more or less)

Add shortening to milk and heat to hot temperature (not boiling). Add sugar, salt, raisins, beaten eggs and chopped apples. Add flour. Mix dry yeast in part of flour before adding. Use just enough flour to make a soft dough that can be dropped by spoonfuls. Let rise 1 hour in warm place. Bake in hot (375 degree) oil or shortening until brown. Yield about 6 dozen.
