Ingredients

Scale

1. 500 grams flour (4 cups)
2. 42 grams brown sugar ( 3 heaped Tablespoons)
3. 4 teaspoons baking powder (20 ml)
4. 1 teaspoon salt
5. 4 large eggs
6. 500 ml boiling water (2 cups)
7. Oil for deep-frying. (vetkoek should float in the oil)

Instructions

  1. Have your oil warming up in the pot on the stove top. Enough to float the vetkoek dough on so it can turn over itself.
  2. In a large bowl mix all your dry ingredients up.
  3. Another bowl break your eggs and whisk those with your hand or a hand mixer. Add your hot water and mix these together well.
  4. Mix this hot egg mixture with your dry ingredient until there is no lumps left and the dough is smooth. But sticky. Not to dry, if so add a little more liquid. All flours differ.
  5. The mixture will be quit sticky, therefore you have to handle it with two table spoons into a blob or a size you would prefer your vetkoek to come out as.
  6. The oil in the pot should be boiling, you will see bubbles in it. If not boiling then wait for it to boil.
  7. Drop your blob of dough into this hot oil to cook. The vetkoek should flip over once one side is cooked. They should be nice and brown each side. Cooked in the middle to. Should look air rated with bubbles and no raw dough is showing.
  8. Take out the vetkoek that is cooked and drain in a stainless steel colander over a dish to drain any excess oil.
  9. Eat warm cut open with some fillings of choice.

Notes

  • vetkoek should take 4-5 minutes per batch of 4 pieces, depending on the pot size.
