SOUTH AFRICAN VETKOEK

Vetkoek means fat cake, since you are frying and not baking the bread. It is a classic South African bread, served with savory or sweet fillings.

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Beat egg separately and add to flour.
  • Add milk and mix until smooth.
  • Heat oil in frying pan and drop a heaped tablespoon of the mixture into oil. (Once you have tried this you can decide to use more batter to yield a larger "vetkoek").
  • Don't make more than four at a time!
  • Fry for two to three minutes on one side, then turn and fry for one minute on other side.
  • Serve hot with any filling you like. A few examples: Savory:Tuna or chicken mayo, mince(ground beef) & cheese, etc. Sweet:Syrup, etc.

SOUTH AFRICAN "VETKOEK" (BREAD MACHINE RECIPE)

Very traditional 'deep-fried breadrolls'; sounds weird but unbelievably good. We grew up with these at least once a week: either filled with curried 'mince' (ground beef) (these we called curry bunnies); or just halved and spread with butter and preserves or syrup. Yumm.

Steps:

  • Measure water into bread machine pan.
  • Add dry ingredients.
  • Add yeast.
  • Set machine on 'dough setting' and start.
  • When done (after 1 1/2 hrs) remove and divide into 10 balls on lightly floured surface. Flatten slightly.
  • Let rise for 1/2 hour in warm place.
  • Warm oil in pan - about 1 inch deep - on medium heat setting (not hot!).
  • Fry vetkoeks about 5 minutes a side (turn over when golden). Pack them quite close together in the pan: it helps with rising.
  • They should be the color of doughnuts when ready.
  • Drain on kitchen towels.
  • As soon as you can bear to touch them, slice open and spread with butter and your favorite preserve.
  • Enjoy.
  • (cooking time is bread machine cycle).
