Title: early as can be....
Post by: Marcellarius on October 02, 2010, 09:41:18 am
Guess what I'm making.....

the famous Dutch "Oliebol"

(http://zeeland.blog.nl/files/2009/12/oliebol.jpg)

this is a dutch tradition for new years eve.
actually in Holland we call it "old years eve/day"
it's a ball dough with raisins baked in oil.
some powdered-sugar on top......  8) .... delicious

due to the Autumn rain we get a bit of the Christmas feeling and we decided to make some.
I just mixed everything and I now wait until it's raised for about 45 min.

coming up next I make an other version (own recipe) filled with pork kebab.
my kids love this!!

I know I'm much to early but: let the Christmas season begin :D

maybe we put on a Christmas movie tonight

With us - peanut brittle.  Made some a few days ago and hubby has already polished it off.  Need to make some more for my dad.

In Germany we called it "Berliner" and it is filled with Marmalade or Plum-Jam. But you can by it all the year. Here  an a recipe  http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/233121095251088/Berliner.html

Hi Marcel,
You remind me of my dad he too would bake oliebollen at other times than new years eve. They are nice all year round, if you were closer I would come over and have one. On second thoughts don't know if my tummy can handle that yet. Enjoy.
The Berliner we can buy here too, they are great Heiko, treat myself to one once in a while from a bakkery close by.

@ Heiko,

we have the berliner her to but not a lot of people make them, most times you buy them at a baking car/stall
what I like from you Germans are "reibekuchen"
(http://www.indina.at/assets/images/reibekuchen.jpg)
correct me if I'm wrong, but that's also typical christmas food
great with some apple sauce
most years we go to a German Christmas fair (weihnachtsmarkt) and eat some of them.
that and some gluhwein and all the craftsmen give me a great day!
