I wonder whether anyone (Dutch readers especially) could supply me with
the recipe for oliebollen? For those who don't know, these are a kind
of spherical Dutch pancake, made by dropping batter into a vat of hot
oil, so that the outside solidifies and leaves the inside semi-liquid.
The batter can contain various, usually fruit, additions: typically
apple and raisin. The literal translation, somewhat unexcitingly, is
oil-balls. I have seen them made by a Dutch friend of mine, but I don't
know the exact composition or timings. (In Holland, you can get packets
of oliebollen mix, but of course not in England).

My friend was to be making them for a party on Sunday, but he can't be
here, so I'll take over if I can discover the recipe.
