I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Soak the dried fruit in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and add to a large bowl. Set aside with diced apple (if using).
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.
Pour batter onto fruit and mix well by hand.
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.
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.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

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!

Comments
Love this recipe. We make it regularly
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
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
