A vetkoek recipe is a good thing to have. Everyone loves vetkoek! Fill it with a little curried ground beef and it's called a "curry bunny". It's also really good with regular ground beef and some cheddar cheese, or cheese and syrup!. The most popular one in our Down South South African shop is the curried mince vetkoek.
Ingredients
63⁄4 cups Flour (all-purpose flour)
2 teaspoons Salt
2 desert spoons Sugar
1 packet Yeast
Lukewarm water
Preparation
In a large dish mix flour, sugar, salt and yeast together.
Slowly add lukewarm water and stir. Combine until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
Cover with greased kitchen paper, put in warm draft-free place, and allow to double in size.
Heat enough vegetable oil for deep frying.
Fill another dish with cold water and place next to your vetkoek dough.
Wet your hands in cold water before breaking off a piece of dough, rolling it into the shape and size of a tennis ball and carefully lowering it into hot oil. You can easily do five or six vetkoek at a time.
Allow to turn golden brown on all sides by frequently turning. Remove from oil and drain on kitchen paper.
