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.
Ingredients:
250 ml cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
125 ml milk
125 ml oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
2. Beat egg separately and add to flour.
3. Add milk and mix until smooth.
4. 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 ).
5. Don't make more than four at a time!
6. Fry for two to three minutes on one side, then turn and fry for one minute on other side.
7. Serve hot with any filling you like. A few examples: Savory:Tuna or chicken mayo, mince(ground beef) & cheese, etc. Sweet:Syrup, etc.
