1 tsp (5 ml) ground cinnamon

700 ml water
Vetkoek
1 C (250 ml) self-raising flour
pinch of salt
¾ C (180 ml) water

Instructions
Cinnamon Syrup
Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl. Reserve ¼ C (60 ml) and pour the rest into a pan with the water.
Cook for 10–15 minutes until the syrup starts to thicken.
Vetkoek
Meanwhile, place the self-raising flour and salt into a bowl and add the water slowly until it forms a soft dough (it should slide off the spoon easily).
Heat the oil and drop dollops of the vetkoek dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and toss in the reserved cinnamon sugar.
Serve immediately with the cinnamon syrup.
