WHAT DOES VETKOEK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

vetkoek

Vetkoek

Vetkoek is a traditional Afrikaner pastry. It is dough deep-fried in cooking oil and either filled with cooked mince or spread with syrup, honey, or jam. It is thought to have its origins from the Dutch oliebollen, which go back to the time of the migration period. It is similar in taste to Mexican sopapillas. Vetkoek literally means "fat cake". It is similarly shaped to a doughnut and is made from flour, salt and yeast. Dough is rolled into a ball then deep fried. It is commonly eaten with butter or filled with jam or a more savory filling. In a traditional South African braai, or barbecue, vetkoek may be served alongside boerewors,. Koeksisters are made from a similar, but sweeter, dough but are braided in long strips then coated in a sticky sweet syrup. Similar to a vetkoek, the amagwinya is a popular meal for many people living in townships. The term amagwinya originates from the historically Black townships of Gauteng in South Africa. Amagwinya are vetkoek.
