Would you like to eat something original on Tuesday during New Year’s Eve? Then try the grease valve. An experiment by baker Jan Nagelkerke in Oudenbosch.
The fat valve was created during the weekly experiments that the famous baker does on TikTok. “We make a variation on our sausage roll every week,” Nagelkerke explained on Monday in the radio program KEIgoeiemorgen! on Omroep Brabant. “We ask our followers if they have any original ideas. Now someone suggested a New Year’s sausage roll. Then we started thinking.”
“The sausage ball didn’t cook properly.”
“First we made a ball with sausage roll minced meat in it. Sausage bread in a ball, the sausage ball. But it did not bake properly. The outside became too dark and it was not cooked on the inside. Then we tried frying a sausage roll – the The fryer is now on because of the oliebollen – and that turned out to be really tasty. We then add fries herbs to it. This gives you a little savory New Year’s snack.”
They actually never do this frying at Nagelkerke. “This is the first time. We normally don’t have the chip shop on. Only this week, because of the oliebollen.”
“The bottoms must be closed and then fry nicely, for six minutes.”
The bun does not become full of fat when frying. “Only the outside. Just like with the oliebol. We put an almost risen sausage roll in the deep fryer, with the butts tightly closed. Because with the butts open, the fat runs into it. And then just fry it for six minutes.”
Some people claim that everything you put in the fryer turns out tasty. Nagelkerke does not want to claim that. “But this one is. This one is really tasty!” After posting the fat flap on TikTok, many have already been ordered. “Yes, this will go well. But the regular sausage rolls remain our most important product.”
You can also try it yourself, but it is a lot of work. “You shouldn’t throw ready-made sausage rolls in the fryer,” warns the father of the 10-member family. “That’s not tasty. You have to make them yourself and then they are not put in the oven before baking, but in the deep fryer at 175 degrees.”
“A 9.9 on the Betty scale.”
It is not the first time that experiments have been done with the sausage roll. For example, in 2013 Royke was introduced, a sausage roll with bacon. An idea from Tilburg baker Ruud Smolders, named after ‘stylist of the south’ Roy Donders.
Star chef Herman Cooijmans from Valkenswaard was creative with an oliebol in 2022. He came up with one with caviar and dried ham.
Another New Year’s Eve idea came in 2019 from Christel de Laat, alias Betty van den Oetelaar. She baked a Frikadellen Christmas cake. Earlier that year she also caused a sensation with the anti-hangover lasagna during carnival. Christel himself gave the recipe a ‘9.9 on the Betty scale’. So plenty of original eating tips, enjoy your meal!
