Traditionally served as a snack between or as a meal.

Ingredients for about 20 cakes:
240g flour
10ml (2 teaspoons) baking powder
15ml (1 tablespoon) sugar
2ml (½ teaspoon) salt
2 eggs, beaten
125 ml (½ cup) water or milk
Sunflower oil for frying
Method:

• Sieve the flour and baking powder together and add the sugar and salt. Mix together the beaten eggs
  and the water or milk, then gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients. The batter should be
  fairly stiff.
• Heat enough oil for shallow or deep-frying until it is hot but not smoking. Dip a tablespoon into the
  hot oil and then use it to drop spoonfuls of the batter into the frying pan. Fry until the cakes are brown
  on all sides.
• Allow the vetkoek to drain well on a wire rack over a bowl.
  Serving suggestions:
  Serve with mince as a meal or with butter and jam.
