Netherlands

6 c. flour6 t. baking powder

Recipe notes: Oliebollen (translated literally as "grease balls") are a type of doughnut or fritter that Dutch families traditionally enjoy on New Years Eve. Usually this is the only time during the year that they are made. Every family has their own special recipes, passed down for generations. My sister-in-law, who moved to the USA from Belgium when she was eight insists that her family recipe is better, but I personally think ours has a better flavor. If you plan to make these, be sure to have some paper bags on hand to drain them on. They do live up to their name*.
(*These are also known as "Ole Koeken" or "oil cakes.")
