Ingredients:
- 2 kg cake flour
- 100 ml cooking oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 packets instant yeast
- 1,1/2 liters lukewarm water
- Oil for deep frying
Method:
There are two ways you can do this.
Electric mixer :
Pour oil in blender.
Add flour, salt, sugar, yeast and lukewarm water.
Knead for 10 now 15 minutes, or until dough feels smooth and without lumps between your fingers.
A Good indication that the dough is right is that there will be no more dough on the side of the bowl.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with towel and put on warm place to rise until double in size .
Divide dough into portions and mould into balls. Place the balls on a baking tray and place in cold oven to rise.
Deep fry a few vetkoek at a time until golden brown over a medium/low heat When they are hollow and feel light, you know you can remove from oil and place on paper towels.
Traditional way:
- Sieve flour and combine all the dry ingredients in a big bowl.
- Add the oil and then water bit by bit until you get the consistency of a soft bread dough. The mixture must still be quite sticky.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and gently knead for 5-10 minutes. You may need to add a little more flour to the dough to prevent it sticking to your fingers.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a cloth and set aside in a warm spot until the dough is double in size.
- Divide dough into portions and mould into balls. Place the balls on a baking tray and place in cold oven to rise.
- Deep fry a few vetkoek at a time until golden brown over a medium/low heat When they are hollow and feel light, you know you can remove from oil and place on paper towels.
ENJOY!
