Oliebol

An oliebol is a Dutch beignet, a kind of doughnut traditionally eaten in the Netherlands on New Year Eve. The dough is made from flour, eggs, yeast, salt, milk and baking powder, usually with dried fruit such as sultanas, currants or raisins mixed in, and sometimes candied fruit zest as well; the finished pastry is deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar, with an apple filled variation also common. Its exact origin is unclear: some trace it to baked goods eaten by Germanic tribes in the Netherlands during Yule, while others connect it to Sephardi Jewish immigrants who arrived from Portugal in the 15th century and to the related Hanukkah pastry sufganiyah.
