Vetkoek and Mince

This is a fantastic, easy recipe to homemade vetkoek. We make a meal out of vetkoek, with mince for the main and jam for pudding!

Ingredients:
4 Cups Flour
2 tsp Sugar
Pinch of salt
1 packet yeast
65ml oil
warm water
Oil for deep frying

Method:
Add dry ingredients to a mixing bowl, add oil and mix, slowly add warm water and mix until you get a firm dough. Flour the counter and your hands and knead the dough on the counter top for 10 minutes. The dough is ready when it "springs" back. Place in the bowl, cover with a dishtowel and leave to rise for 20 minutes.

I usually make the mince while the dough rises...see the mince recipe here

Knock the dough down and roll it out to about an inch thich. Cut with a sharp knife into approx 36 pieces. Heat oil in a deep pot, add the pieces 3 or 4 at a time depending on pot size. The oil should be hot enough that the dough rises to the surface when you place the pieces in the pot. Cook until browned then flip over and cook until browned.
Remove from pot and place in a bowl lined with paper towels.

Once slightly cooled cut and fill with desired filling, mince or butter and jam etc.
