| 1. Soak fruit (currants, raisins, sultanas) for 1 hour to plump up, then drain (soaking is optional). | 2. Add diced apple to fruit and stir in lemon juice. | 3. Dissolve yeast into 2 cups of the luke warm milk. | 4. In a large bowl, add flour, making a dip in the middle. | 5. Cream castor sugar and soft butter and add to flour. | 6. Add lightly beaten eggs and yeast mixture. | 7. Begin to combine ingredients stirring in one direction. | 8. Slowly add remaining milk stirring until thick and smooth. | 9. Add fruit mixture and stir 'til combined. | 10. Add salt and stir again. | 11. Pour into clean plastic bucket (I buy a new one each year) or very large bowl. | 12. Cover with clean kitchen cloth and let rise in warm place (ideally 30F) for 1/2 hour. | 13. When doubled in size, hit side of bucket or bowl to "drop" the batter. | 14. Using two spoons which have been dipped into hot (180F) sunflower oil (repeat this step as required), scoop a spoonful of batter and form oilebollen (this is somewhat an art to get right to produce perfect round shape) then slide (drop) into oil from just above oil level. | 15. Fry in small batches until rich golden brown (oliebollen should turn in the oil by themselves but turn with spoon if required). | 16. Remove with slotted spoon. | 17. Drain on kitchen paper. | 18. Sprinkle liberally with icing sugar to serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
