Old-fashioned oil bulbs recipe for 25 pieces
Ingredients
• 250 ml-milk
• 1 bag of dried yeast (7 g)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 300 gram flour + 1 tbsp extra for filling, sieved
• 1 egg, beaten
• For filled oil bulbs:
• 1 fresh sweet apple (e.g. Elstar), peeled
• 1 orange, schoongeboend
• 100 grams raisins
• 100 grams of currants
• 2 tbsp candied (container 100 gram)
• 2 litres of sunflower oil
• Icing sugar
• Kitchen Thermometer
Instructions
1. Make yeast mixture
Heat the milk in a saucepan to warm lukewarm. Pour the yeast and sugar into a dish. The cook warns that the yeast mixture should really foam, otherwise the batter does not rice well. Sieve the flour.
2. Batter stirring
Whisk the egg loosely and make a dimple in the flour. Pour in it the yeast mixture, the remainder of the milk, the beaten egg and a manure point salt. Stir this with the whisk to a smooth batter. Possibly add some vanilla sugar.
3. Raising the Herd
Cover the bowl with a clean, damp, warm tea towel and let the batter rise for an hour.
4. Frying of the bulbs
Heat sunflower oil up to 180 degrees Celsius. Scoop with two greased spoon heaps of batter from the bowl, leave it in the oil bags. Do not bake more than four oil bulbs at the same time and do not fry too large.
5. Make stuffed oil bulbs
Step 1 and 2 are equal to the basic recipe oil bulb bins. In step three you peel an apple and cut it into small cubes. Grate the rind of an orange. Put the apple, zest, raisins, currants and candied in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon flour. Pour the batter and mix it into a whole. The filled oil bulbs bake in the oil and sprinkle with icing sugar
Tip: Put a window open and knot a cloth around your head. The scent of oil bulbs lingers long and pulls in everywhere!
