One for you Ashlyn: Decided today that due to rain there will be no barbeque for me and my 2, 4-legged kiddies. Instead, I decided to make yummy "vetkoek"!

500gr white bread flour
5ml sugar
about 40ml butter
5ml salt
10gr instant dry yeast
Luke warm water
oil for deep frying

Method: Mix all the dry ingredients together, rub in the butter until it looks like bread crumbs. Slowly add luke warm water until you get a soft dough consistency. Kneed until smooth and elastic. Cover and leave in room temperature until doubled in size. Kneed down and cut tennis ball size portions and place on buttery tray. Leave until it rose to nearly double it size. Deep fry in oil until golden brown and cooked through. Turn vetkoek half way through cooking.

It is fantastic with cheese and tomato or curried mince. Ilove it when it is still hot.
