Vetkoek
Vetkoek
Simple, golden, and deeply nostalgic. This is the kind of food that doesn’t try to be anything else.
Ingredients
1. Vetkoek Dough
- 2 cups cake flour (± 250 g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¾–1 cup lukewarm water
2. Frying
- Oil, for deep frying
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
I like to let my dough rise for about an hour, then I divide it to equal portions, this recipe make 8 medium sized Vetkoeke. Then I let them rise again for about 30/45min before frying.
Heat oil over medium heat in a deep pan or pot.
Fry until golden brown, turning to cook evenly on both sides until fully cooked through.
Remove and drain on paper towel.
