ps. before i start: forgive my spelling... i have no excuses...
pps. this is a recipe for south african 'vetkoek'... almost, but not quite a sort of flapjack...
my grandmotther, bless her soul, told me to rather shut up than say something 'bad'...(especially about others... and definately not on a sunday!) i will keep this in mind during my future blog ventures... on the other hand, who cares anyway... anymore? i do sometimes, but not always... anyway... only a tea could save me!
a friend in berlin told me to stay authentic, to undermine and/or my criminal energy in order to guide my karma to a safe haven... she also put me in touch with numerology... again,... (remember israel?). according to my numero profile, based on adding and subtraction the date of birth numerals, i should be investing my time helping others... and in doing so i would find true happiness (and wealth!?). a pretty clear picture of a little less self-indulgance... more team thinking... some greenpeace... and a porsche cayenne... but not from caritas, ok. the thought had occurred to me before... years ago in africa... submerging from time to time... but... i procrastinate for a living.
but i also, some say, have talent... wow! others say, a jack of all trades... master of none... whatever...
yes, this is my very first time... and it hurts... not me though... artists have thick skins...
what i actualy wnnted to talk about was not integration in germany... but food, south african food.
CAPE -STYLE VETKOEK:
ingredients
1 cup of allpurpose flour... any type...
1 cup of milk... please use fresh high fat milk
1 egg... ZE EGGS MUST BE OOOOORGANIC!!!
a pinch of salt
a satchet/packet of Baking powder
making
mix all ingredients well... and let it rest for a while... but for no longer than 15minutes...
heat a cast iron based pan on ze oven... topspeed... until just before it starts smoking... (you will know when!!!)
immediately reduce the heat to half of that before.... and add an inch or more of sunflower oil to the pan...
test the heat of the oil by dropping small drops of the mixture... it must fry immediately!
otherwise your vetkoekke will be toooo soggy...
now add mix with a soupspoon...
fry untill bottom is lightbrown...
turn around...
remove from pan... and rest on kitchen paper...do not overfry!
place vetkoeke in an ovenproof bowl/plate... and bake at +-150° celcius for 10 minutes...
just to make sure that it isn't rough in the centre... (Mrs. Venter!?)
serve: serve hot with farmbutter... even salted butter (in berlin from Brot & Butter in Charlottenburg)...
and do not forget golden syrup... if you're not in SA. and in germany check out Karstadt in Berlin... they have it!!!
then to be ultra decadent... sprinkle cheddar cheese, grated... and enjoy!
from here to you, see you another time with less content and more structure... or maybe not.
