Basic recipe oliebollen

Heat the milk until lukewarm. Mix 100 ml of the lukewarm milk with the yeast and sugar and let stand for a while.

Mix the flour with a pinch of salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle.

Add the yeast mixture, the rest of the milk, the egg and, if necessary, lemon zest and beat until smooth, using a mixer with dough hooks.

Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and allow the batter to rise for about 1 hour in a warm place or until the volume has doubled.

Heat the oil to 180 ° C. Baptize 2 tablespoons or an ice-cream tongs in the oil. Remove the batter from the bowl and let oil slide in the pan. Bake a maximum of 4-6 oliebollen in golden brown and cooked for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over halfway with a slotted spoon.
