How to make golden vetkoek
Makes approximately 12 Vetkoek
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 Woolworths Golden Vetkoek Kit
- Kit Includes:
- 435 g Vetkoek Mix
You need:
- 1 cup water
- Approximately 400 ml canola or vegetable oil
- Icing sugar, for dusting
- Golden syrup, for serving
Method:
- Mix the water and vetkoek mix until dough forms. If you’re using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment. If kneading by hand, ensure you do so on a well-floured surface. The dough may feel sticky, but a floured surface will make it workable.
- Roll out the dough into two long cylinders on a floured surface, then cut into 12 pieces.
- Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball. Heat the oil in a saucepan. To test whether the oil is hot enough, place the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil. If bubbles rise to the surface of the oil, it’s ready. (Or add some dough; the oil should start bubbling immediately.)
- Cook the vetkoek in the oil in batches, turning each one after a minute or two once golden brown. Each one will take approximately 4–5 minutes to cook. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve with golden syrup. Alternatively, serve with butter and jam or stuff with savoury mince.
