About oliebol

traditional Dutch food

An oliebol is a Dutch beignet, a variety of doughnut or fried dough that is traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve. People often eat it with raisins baked inside and with powdered sugar on top. Another variation is made with apple inside instead of raisins. There are similar foods all around the world, including the Samoan panikeke, eaten mostly with jam or butter on top.
