Amagwinya is one of South Africa’s traditional dishes.

Winter often has us craving comfort food. Amagwinya, or vetkoek as some call them, are one of those foods.

Golden, warm, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, amagwinya on a cold winter's day can be food for the soul.

Making perfect, golden-brown amagwinya at home requires dough made of cake flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and warm water. Once mixed, the dough is left to double in size, shaped into balls, and deep-fried until crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
