Oliebollen
- 1 cup Water (warm)
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Yeast
- 6 cups Milk
- 1/2 cups Lard, Melted
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1-1/2 cup Sugar
- 6 whole Eggs
- 11 cups Flour
- 1 quart Oil For Deep Frying
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Icing Or Confectioners Sugar), For Dusting
- Note: Prep time does not include rising time.
- Combine first three ingredients and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Scald 6 cups milk in a pan. Scalding milk means bringing it nearly to a boil, preferably in a thick-bottomed pan while stirring actively, to keep a protein skin from forming on the surface and keep the proteins and sugar from sticking to the bottom.
- Once milk is done, beat into it the next 5 ingredients, adding in raisins or chopped apple if desired. Let rise until double in bulk.
- Once risen: Drop by tablespoon into hot oil (375 - 400 degrees), and fry until golden. Drain on a paper towel, then dust with powdered sugar.
