Cinnamon and Sugar Vetkoek

Ingredients for the vetkoek:

• 500 g cake flour
• 30 ml sugar
• 20 ml baking powder
• 5 ml salt
• 4 eggs
• 500 ml warm milk
• sunflower oil for frying

To fill:

• Mixed ground cinnamon and caster sugar
• Strawberry Jam

Method:

• Sift the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
• Whisk together the eggs and the milk.
• Whisk the milk into the dry ingredients, beating well until the mixture is smooth and thick.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan.
• Check that the oil is ready by adding a small amount of dough to the oil. If it bubbles straight away, then the oil is ready.
• Ladle an evenly sized rounded spoonful of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden.
• Drain on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
• Toss the hot vetkoek in the cinnamon sugar and leave to cool slightly.
• Make an incision in the vetkoek with a sharp knife and fill the cavity with strawberry jam.
• Serve immediately.
