Like so many Dutch families, the Meinders' enjoy olliebollen every Christmas and New Year's. Watch the step-by-step video and try Marie's recipe which includes yeast. Which olliebollen recipe will become your families favorite?  

​

1 qt. Milk

1 tsp. Salt

3 tbsp. Sugar

2 tbsp. Shortening (plus more for frying)

1 c. raisins

1 pkg dry yeast

3 medium sized apples

3 eggs

6 c. flour (more or less)

Powdered sugar for serving

 

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 for 1 hour in a warm place.  Bake in hot (375 degree) oil or shortening until brown.  Yield about 6 dozen. Serve with powdered sugar
