Oliebollen / Dutch doughnuts


Oliebollen bakken is een Nederlandse traditie die al lang bestaat, want al in de 17e eeuw stonden oliebollen op schilderijen afgebeeld, zoals je hierboven kunt zien (foto (van internet).
Voor meer (achtergrond)informatie, zie hier: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliebol
 
Baking Dutch "oliebollen" is since long a Dutch tradition, because already in the 17th century “oliebollen” were visible on paintings, as you can see here above (picture of internet).
More information about our “oliebollen” and the sorts of them in other countries (in English), see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliebol



Vandaag heb ik (zoals elk jaar) dan ook mijn eigen oliebollen en appelbeignets gebakken, volgens de voorproever smaken ze heerlijk, hihihi 😉!
 
Today, as in every year, I've also baked my own “oliebollen and appelbeignets” (=a notable variety of a “oliebol” is the appelbeignet, which contains only a slice of apple, but different from oliebollen, the dough should not rise for at least an hour), and according to the pre taster they taste delicious, hehehe 😉!



Met kerst ben ik door Birgit echt heel ernstig verwend met deze prachtige cadeaus. 
Lieve Birgit, vanuit de grond van mijn hart nogmaals: dankjewel voor deze prachtige cadeaus en voor je warme vriendschap, ik ben super blij met alles 💝!!
 
On Christmas Eve I unwrapped the gifts Birgit sent me, she really spoiled me soooo much. 
Dearest Birgit, from the bottom of my heart: thank you so much for these beautiful gifts and your warm friendship. I am over the moon with all of it 💝!!

Dit is mijn laatste blog bericht van dit jaar, ik wil iedereen die mijn blog leest hartelijk bedanken voor jullie belangstelling en/of  voor jullie fijne reacties. 
Laten we de jaarwisseling veilig houden met zijn allen, en leef goed de maatregelen na. Er zijn tegenwoordig zoveel (digitale) middelen om elkaar toch even te kunnen zien/spreken, dus kies daarvoor in plaats van elkaar fysiek te bezoeken. Want we zullen met zijn allen dit virus moeten bestrijden. Het virus heeft al zo veel ellende aangericht, velen hebben dierbaren verloren en/of zijn ernstig ziek geworden.
Zorg goed voor elkaar en jezelf, blijf veilig en gezond.
Ondanks alles wens ik iedereen een mooi 2021 toe, en vooral een goede gezondheid!
 
This is my last blog post of this year, I want to thank everyone, who reads my blog, for your interest and/or for your kind comments. 
Let's all keep New Year's Eve safe and comply with the measures. Nowadays there are so many (digital) means to be able to see/speak to each other, so choose this instead of physically visiting each other. Because we will all together have to fight this virus. The virus has already caused already so much misery, many have lost loved ones and/or became seriously ill.
Take care of each other and yourself, stay safe and healthy.
Despite everything, I wish everyone a good 2021, and above all good health!

Dear Ilona, Happy New Year to you too! I have followed your blog for a while and I am Always so impressed by your workmanship and creativity! I am always thinking to myself..."Ilona" would make it better... Ilona would measure more precisely!" But this is in the way of the best encouragement for me to improve my own creations! You are an inspiration! And I just love everything about your "Farm", having spent impressionable teen years on a farm myself. Stay safe and keep making minis! I look forward to many more years of being inspired! :):):)

Conservar las tradiciones es importante. Es lo que nos ayuda en tiempos difíciles a conservar la esperanza.

Ah... it's great to see your famous oliebollen are on the go... but why am I not surprised you got an "ok" from the pre tester?! *LOL* And even appelbeignets... wow... you will have a lot to eat this New Year's Eve. I already foresee the family online conference where everybody is happily waving his/her oliebol followed by an appelbeignet. ;O) Enjoy them to the fullest, I know it was a lot of work for you in your garage.

Around here we would usually have "Berliner" for New Year's Eve - but this year I didn't want to get some from the bakery because I fear it will be too crowded there and I don't want to take any risk just for tons of calories coming along in a certain fried, jam filled cake. But as a poor alternative I bought some frozen industrial made mini ones... these will have to do this year. ;O)

"Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr!" - and my best wishes to you and yours for the new one, above all health. And it's a very good thing to know that the next year will bring next to sad and bad stuff for sure also many good things - like for example new posts with new miniature miracles here on your blog!

Bye until 2021!
Birgit

Hmm...delicious! You're making me hungry...

I hope you have a wonderful New Year, safe and happy.

Dear Ilona, We call your"oliebols" "Sufganyiot" and we eat them tradionally in Hanukka. Because they are soaked with oil we complain that they are fattening and enjoy keeping eating them.
Enjoy Birgit's gifts and Have a wonderful Happy New Year!
A warm hug,
Drora

Ilona,tus olibollen tienen un estupendo aspecto! Yo también hago buñuelos de manzana cuya elaboración es muy similar y nos gustan mucho.
Disfruta de todos los regalos de Birgit y sobre todo que la amistad y el cariño se fortalezca.
Te deseo para ti y los tuyos, un año lleno de ilusiones, alegrías y mucha salud!!
Besos.

Hallo Ilona,

Oliebollen horen inderdaad onlosmakelijk bij Oud & Nieuw. Heerlijk! Helaas moeten wij eht doen met de bollen en beignets van de bakker. Niet dat daar iets mis mee is, ze zijn heerlijk, maar zelf gebakken is altijd lekkerder!

Ik wens jou en jouw dierbaren een heel goed en gezond jaar toe, met veel ruimte en rust voor miniaturen!

Fabiola zei

Your "oliebollen" look delicious and look like our Saint Joseph's "frittelle".
Happy new year 2021!

Tatiana zei

Dear Ilona!
Happy New Year!
Celebrating the New Year always brings extra pounds. ))) Your donuts look very tasty. I really love baking, but I have to limit myself. Extra pounds harm my health.))) I tend to be overweight.)))
You have received wonderful gifts from a good friend. Enjoy and take care of yourself. I never thought that a terrible pandemic could happen (((. It's great happiness that we love the miniature. We can create and share on the Internet!)))
Warmest wishes to you and your family!
Hug
Tatiana

I remember eating ollibollen as a child. My mom used to make them, and then we'd also eat them when we visited my Oma. I should make it again -- but I need to work off my weight from staying at home and not going out as much as I used to. Happy New Year! And I agree with your advice.

Melli Hobby zei

Hello Ilona,
a hppy and healthy new year.
Your oliebollen reminds me on my childhood.
My grandmother made them every year. I love them.
A big hug
