Vetkoek is 'n tradisionele lekkerny maar wat min weet is dat dié eenvoudige vetkoek deel was van die volksplanting hier aan die Suidpunt van Afrika. Vetkoek - which literally means 'fat cake' in Afrikaans - is a proudly South African pastry. Vetkoek is a dough which is light and crisp on the outside, whilst soft and bread-like on the inside.
Steps to make Vetkoek:
- Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the yeast, olive oil and water. Mix into the dough with your fingers.
- Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Wash, dry and grease the bowl. Put the dough into the bowl, cover it and leave it in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough has risen. (It will double in size.)
- After 1 hour. Heat the oil in a pot for deep frying. Add a small piece of dough to the oil, once small bubbles appear around the dough, the oil is almost hot enough.
- Break the dough into fist size balls and add to the oil.
- Initially turn the vetkoek often because once it's fryed on one side it will keep on falling back to that side, turning them often helps to evenly fry them.
- It takes quite a while to fry them all the way through (almost 20 minutes.) If you tap on them and they sound hollow they are done. They will also have a nice golden brown colour.
- Let them drain on kitchen towels or newspaper. Let them cool before serving.
- Serve them with your choice of condiments: butter, cheese, jam, syrup, anything you like
