    Advocaat was one of the drinks and don't remember the name of the drink with raisins in it, that was customary on Oudjar. Perhaps you can help me remember?

    Again, Happy New Year!!!

    Matt,

    As one of your Dutch friends let me answer the questions.

    Appelflappen are also called "appelbeignets" (pronounce: beeaa's). Actually it is not the same. An appelflap traditionally is a slice of apple (goudreinet: golden rennet), dipped in sugar and cinamon, and then covered in a thin batter and deep fryed in salad oil or sunflower oil. And there remains a hole in the middle (a bit like a donut; it is said that the donut originates from the oliebollen brought to America by the Pilgrim fathers who put the dough on a stick).
    A beignet is apple in dough with almond paste. After deep frying it, it is dipped in sugar and cinamon. There is no hole and the sugar is on the outside.

    Brandy and raisins is called "boerenjongens" ("farm boys"). Apricots with brandy are called "boerenmeisjes" (yes you guessed that: farm girls).

    Advocaat is brandy with eggs (and served with whipped cream).

    Cheers,

    JWS

    Fantastic JWS

    I knew how to pronounce appelbeignets, but would not be able to spell it, thank you. According to your recipe, we made appelflap yesterday. AAahhhhh, berenjongens, that rings a bell, thank you. Does the Brandy and raisins have to set for a certain time before eating/drinking?

    Thanks so much Jan Willem

    Re: Happy New Year!!!!!!

    Ah Matt, it's "boerenjomgens" not "berenjongens".

    Yes it has to be set but I don't know for how long. In the old days it was made by the farmers themselves. Like moonshining. Today you just buy it in the store.
