Ingredients and Preparation
The basic ingredients for Vetkoek include flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and water.
The dough is mixed and kneaded until it becomes smooth and elastic.
It is then left to rise until it doubles in size, creating a light and airy texture.
Once the dough has risen, it is divided into individual portions that are shaped into balls.
These balls are then deep-fried in hot oil until they become golden brown and puffed up.
The frying process gives Vetkoek its signature crispy exterior and soft interior.
The combination of the warm, fluffy dough and the sweet filling creates a delectable dessert or indulgent snack.
On the savory side, Vetkoek can be filled with a wide array of ingredients to satisfy any craving.
Popular savory fillings include minced meat, curried mince, cheese and bacon, chicken, or spicy chutneys.
It is a versatile dish that can be customized to suit individual tastes and preferences.
