  1. No stars way to runny for olie bollen! I think 3/4 cups water is to much. I make olie bollen all the time, dough needs to clump together so when you deep fry you get a round ball...bollen.
     
  2. These are FANTASTIC! My husband immigrated over from Holland about 9 years ago, and we have used this recipe every year for the last 7-8. I misplaced my printout and was SOO glad to find this still here!
     
  3. These Fritters Rock. I could eat a Dozen easy ! I like to roll them in powdered sugar soon after frying.
