Vetkoek

An old South African favourite, can be served with basically anything.

Oil for deep frying

1 XLG egg

1kg Cake Flour

10g Instant yeast

5ml Salt

30ml Sugar

250ml Milk

125ml water

Sift salt and flour together, add sugar then yeast. Mix in the water, egg and milk until soft dough is formed (dropping consistency).

Cover the bowl with a tea towel and set aside in a warm area, the dough should double in size.

Once the dough has doubled, drop spoonfuls of dough into heated oil turn occasionally allowing the vetkoek to brown evenly.

Place onto grease paper to allow all the excess oil to drain.

Serve warm with syrup, jam, cheese, or filled with curry mince or chicken & mayo.
