Hello #LoyalRoyals

Move this recipe right on up to the top of your ‘to cook’ list. You won’t be disappointed. Eat as a snack, stuffed with plenty of grated cheese, or serve alongside your next braai.

We fried these little balls of delight in a Caribbean Blue Le Creuset Signature Round Casserole. Would you like the chance to win one?

Head this way.

With love to you all

How to

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, egg,  Pesto Princess Harissa Paste, milk and salt and beat well until it forms a smooth, thick batter.

2. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat and deep-fry small dollops of vetkoek dough for three to four minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. (A tablespoon of dough will be ample to create neat little vetkoek balls.)

3. Place the cooked vetkoek on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve the vetkoek warm with butter and cheese or any savoury filling.
