So, what is olie?

Olie is a type of South African pastry that is a cross between a doughnut and a beignet. It is made from a rich, yeasted dough that is deep-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The pastry is often coated with a sugary syrup or dusted with cinnamon sugar for a sweet and indulgent treat. Olie is commonly served as a snack or dessert and is popular during festive occasions, such as Christmas and Easter. This unique pastry is a delicious and beloved part of South African cuisine.
