Pronounced 'Fet Cook'
Vetkoek is a delightful, South African snack
which can be served at any time of day.
Served hot with butter and smooth apricot jam and is also superb with syrup,
fig preserve, honey, cheese, thinly sliced biltong or savoury mince.
The history of these deep fried dough balls goes back many years, to the days of the Voortrekkers who found it much quicker and easier to make than bread.
It is also a typical South African accompaniment with braaivleis.
Enjoy the natural taste of this rich, oil-fried cake,
or cut in half and spread with butter and jam.
