I Made My Oma’s Incredible Dutch Donuts For New Years

Nothing beats my Oma’s Oliebollen recipe - they are light, fluffy and perfectly crispy on the outside. They are a really special Dutch donut that we only make on New Year's Eve to celebrate the year ahead. Happy New Year everyone!
Ingredients
14g dried yeast
125ml warm water
60g caster sugar
450g flour
Pinch salt
250ml milk
2 eggs
100g currants
100g raisins
1 granny smith apple, diced
Icing sugar for dusting
Oil for frying (I use canola)
Method
1. Place the yeast into the warm water, stir and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl add the sugar, flour, and salt and mix.
3. Create a well in the centre and add the milk, beaten eggs and water yeast mixture.
4. Starting from the centre and working your way out mix the batter.
5. Mix through the currants, raisins and apple.
6. Leave the mixed dough in a bowl big enough for it to double, cover it with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour.
7. In a large pot 2/3 full with oil, heat until it reaches 160c.
8. Using 2 spoons, place in golf ball size pieces of the dough in batches of 5-6 and cook until golden brown - around 5-6 minutes.
9. Remove from the oil and leave on a wire rack to drain.
10. Dust HEAVY with icing sugar and enjoy!
