These oliebollen were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of fried foods, but these oliebollen were surprisingly light and airy. I could definitely eat a few of these without feeling too guilty.

These oliebollen were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try frying them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I've never had oliebollen before, but these were delicious! The dough was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
