Oliebollen Recipe (Dutch Doughnuts) – Crispy & Fluffy New Year Treat

Oliebollen are classic Dutch New Year treats – crispy outside, soft inside, and filled with raisins. This simple homemade recipe gives you perfect, fluffy balls every time.

🥘 Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Powdered sugar for serving

👩‍🍳 How to Make Oliebollen

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Add flour, egg, and salt. Mix into a smooth, sticky batter. Fold in raisins and lemon zest.

Step 3: Rest the Batter

Cover and rest for 45–60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Heat oil to 175°C (350°F).

Step 5: Fry the Oliebollen

Scoop small balls of batter with an oiled spoon and gently drop them into the hot oil.
Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

Drain on paper towels and dust generously with powdered sugar.

❄️ Storage Tips

  • Fresh: Best eaten warm.
  • Freeze: Up to 2 months; reheat in oven.

❓ FAQs

1. Why did my oliebollen turn out dense?

The oil may be too cold or the batter wasn’t rested long enough.

2. Can I add apples?

Yes! Finely chop apples and mix into the batter.

3. Can I bake oliebollen?

The traditional method is frying; baking changes texture.
