Vetkoek is a popular pastry in Botswana, and its name can be literally translated to “fat cake.”
It is a deep-fried snack that is made of dough, usually with mince fillings. The dough is made up of a mixture of yeast, salt, and flour. The filling is cooked before being placed inside the dough.
Another variation of vetkoek is one that is filled with jam instead of the minced meat.
There are also some kinds of vetkoek that have no fillings. Instead, the pastry is spread with jam, syrup, or honey.
