Today i made one of our newyears treats. Most people make oliebollen and some appelbeignets. But i like the latter most so i only made them.
Appelbeignets are applerings covered with dough. Here is how to make them from scratch, if you dont have the very dutch appelbeignet mix.
1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ground 2 apples, peeled and cored ¼ cup of all purpose flour ¼ cup of milk 1 egg 1 teaspoon of baking powder Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
Slice the apples in rings, about ¼ inch thick. Stir the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the apple slices. Set aside. Mix the flour, milk, egg, baking powder and salt together for a batter. Use a bit more milk if the batter is too thick. Put the slices in the batter and coat them on both sides, then drop each slice of apple carefully into a pan filled with hot oil (around 190c). Turn them over when golden brown on one side, remove when both sides are golden brown. Drain on a paper towel to capture the excess oil and transfer to a new plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and eat while warm.
