Recipe View Shape and Fry: Using two metal spoons, carefully shape scoops of dough into roughly 12 ball shapes. Gently drop them into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry the oliebollen until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally for even browning.

Recipe View Serve: Generously dust the oliebollen with confectioners' sugar. Transfer them to a serving platter and dust with more confectioners' sugar just before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best experience!

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of rum or brandy to the dough.
If you don't have compressed fresh yeast, you can substitute with 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Just make sure to proof it in the warm milk for a longer time until foamy.
To prevent the oliebollen from becoming too greasy, maintain the oil temperature consistently around 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
