VETKOEK

The English have Yorkshire Pudding and the South Africans have Vetkoek! Fill it with mincemeat, cheese, sausage pieces and my favourite...curry

If you use sausage or viennas you can insert the cooked piece/s before frying the batter but for some fillings you will need to cook the batter first and then slice and insert the filling.

I remember my Mother always made these in winter and we would sit around the table and eat them as they came out of the pan.
