Method
Mini cheesy vetkoek:- Using a large mixing bowl, add the self-raising flour, salt, cheese, cheese sauce and buttermilk and mix through until a stiff dough. Add a little more flour if needed.
- Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
- Dust your hands with flour and scoop a heaped teaspoon of dough into your hands. Roll into a ball of about 2 cm in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Add the oil to a medium sized saucepan and heat until hot. Add 6 – 8 vetkoek balls at a time and fry for 3 minutes or until golden.
- Drain on paper towel and repeat. Best eaten hot or within an hour of making.
Biltong crackers:- Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease a baking tray with non-stick spray.
- Add the flour, cheese, biltong powder and paprika to a food processor and process until combined.
- Add the butter and process until coarse crumbs form.
- Gradually add the iced water and process until the mixture comes together.
- Remove and place the dough on a lightly floured surface and bring together with your hands.
- Divide into 2 flat discs and wrap in clingfilm. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Lightly dust the surface. Roll each disc out onto the floured surface to about 2 mm thick.
- Cut the dough into 4,5 x 2,5 cm rectangles.
- Place on the baking tray and bake for 12 – 15 minutes. Allow the crackers to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a cooling rack.
To assemble:- Arrange the mini cheesy vetkoek, biltong crackers, cheese, cherry tomatoes, dried mango strips, cucumber strips, biltong, droë wors and nuts on a large platter.
- Serve with your favourite LANCEWOOD DIP&TOP®.
- The perfect snacks for entertaining!
