Make a well in the centre and pour in the lukewarm water, mixing with a wooden spoon. 

Add water until you have a soft dough. 

Sprinkle flour on a clean dry surface and knead for 10min until dough is smooth. 

Grease a big bowl with oil, place dough inside and cover. 

Place in a warm place for an hour to rise. 

Shape balls of dough to your preference. 

Grease a baking tray and place balls on them. 

Heat oil in a deep pan or fry balls till golden brown, flipping often to ensure they are evenly fried, and karadaa!

Usually mense go for mince curry on a vetkoek, but is lekker soema net so. The trick is to have it immediately after frying. Vuurwarm, with butter and apricot jam and/or cheese.
