These Dutch Donuts known as Oliebollen are light, crispy, and perfectly sweet. Made with a simple yeast and fried, they're a popular New Year's treat!
All-Purpose Flour Milk Eggs Water Granulated Sugar Yeast Vegetable Oil Powdered Sugar
First, proof the yeast. Add warm water and sugar to a small bowl. Then add the yeast and mix it in.
Let the yeast proof for 5-10 minutes until it bubbles and doubles in size.
Next, add the flour, sugar, yeast mixture, and eggs to a mixing bowl. Add the milk in small amounts and whisk until smooth.
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the batter rise for about 2 hours in a warm spot without draft.
Once risen, mix in the salt with a spatula. Cover again and let rest for another 1-2 hours.
Add oil to a pot and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Dip 2 spoons in oil, then grab batter and let it drip off into the hot oil to fry.
Fry the oliebollen for 1 to 1.5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat until you've used up all of the batter.
Remove the oliebollen when done and place on a baking tray to rest. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
For the best taste, eat the oliebollen while they are warm. Enjoy!
