Well, the #apples for this year's #Dutch #tradition of #NYE #appelBeignets (sort of #appleFritters?) are marinating overnights in a mixture of vanilla sugar, granulated sugar, #cinnamon, 60% #Stroh #rum and plain white #Bacardi rum. Hopefully I'll remember to take pics for #RecipEasy tomorrow. :)

I used up the last of my #StrohRum though (hence the addition of inferior Bacardi) :(, so I'll want to get a replacement bottle at some point next year.

Okay, we're getting somewhere with the #oliebollen!

@FiXato Oh in English even. I'll show this to my girlfriend for sure, thanks

@schoentoon
I'll try to write down a slightly updated version tomorrow and post it on my #RecipEasy site.
Main notes were to use dough hooks rather than balloon whisk implements on the hand mixer for the oliebollen, and perhaps a bit more milk if you don't include ale in the oliebollen batter.
The apple beignets batter on the contrary seems to need a bit less liquid perhaps, as it felt a bit too thin, though still worked out fine. :)

Got a bunch of pics to add too!

@Gina
they tasted like I remembered them :D
I hope yours tasted great too?

(photo and post from last year, but I do hope to start with a batch for this year later today, or tomorrow.)
:)

The #appelflappen / #appelBeignets (sort of #Dutch #appleFritters) turned out mighty fine and tasty too :D

#apple slices that have been bathing overnight in sugar and cinnamon, coated in batter, #deepFried in oil, and then coated with more cinnamon and sugar.

No individual image descriptions, but the first one is four of them floating in piping hot oil in a #castIron pan, and the rest is them cooled down, with or without a cinnamon sugar coating.

@FiXato yours look super round compared to ours πŸ˜‚ enjoy

@schoentoon hehe, I think I got lucky with the yeast and the amount of baking powder :)

And the one or two I've had so far taste good :D

The appelflappen are even better :D and those also seem to have the approval of the little #BeardGrabber :D

@FiXato Do you happen to have a recipe?
@schoentoon http://web.archive.org/web/20190310015108/https://plus.google.com/112064652966583500522/posts/ciQw9Q66qFi is the closest I have to a recipe at the moment, as I still haven't written down a step by step instruction based on last year's photos.

@FiXato Oh awesome, in English even. When we recently visited a store selling dutch food my girlfriend found out about the existance of oliebollen.. So we ended up getting a box with the mix etc for it, she was just gonna wing it.. But now I can just link her this instead xD
