It can be stuffed with sweet or savory such as apricot jam, cheese, ground beef etc. 3 cups cake flour 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp white sugar 1 tbsp yeast 1 tbsp margarine 300 ml lukewarm water 3 tbsp cooking oil Mix flour, salt and sugar together and then add yeast. Dissolve margarine in lukewarm water and add to flour mixture. Mix and knead for about 10 to 15 minutes. Cover with a cloth and stand in a warm place for an hour. Divide dough into 8 portions and mould into balls. Brown in cooking oil until dough balls sound hollow when tapped. IP: Logged

Charmaine Moderator Posts: 1032 From: Venus next to Achak Registered: Dec 2014	posted April 29, 2015 09:07 AM You can use a pot..no deep fryer needed. Make it and let us know how it came out. IP: Logged

Charmaine Moderator Posts: 1032 From: Venus next to Achak Registered: Dec 2014	posted May 02, 2015 05:19 AM What stuffing do you intend using? IP: Logged
PlutoSurvivor Moderator Posts: 2354 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted May 02, 2015 04:35 PM I would like to try both savory filling and sweet. I found a few good recipe ideas. I saw a youtube video of the bread dough cooking in oil. It comes out with a natural hollow cavity for filling, very cool. IP: Logged

Maybe the sausage with seasoned bread stuffing, onions, mushrooms and lots of sage. ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

I wonder what the word "stuffed" sounds like in South African language, coming from Dutch origins... Translate "stuffed" fat cakes. ?

Charmaine Moderator Posts: 1032 From: Venus next to Achak Registered: Dec 2014	posted July 20, 2015 03:54 PM Stuffing = vulsel which sounds like "full" "sill" IP: Logged
Charmaine Moderator Posts: 1032 From: Venus next to Achak Registered: Dec 2014	posted July 20, 2015 03:56 PM Stuffed can also be "opgestopte" in Afrikaans but when used in a different context. IP: Logged
