How about you save this one then for a rash day of calorie consumption? This recipe is in honour of my South African friends everywhere!
Every country has their own form of donut it would seem, and this is a savoury filled one which I have made before to great acclaim. It has been sitting around in my draft folder for months, so I thought I would trot it out for your benefit. It also appears in Keeping it Simple! (Go get it, just $20 right now!)
Enjoy…oh…and don’t forget, you can stuff these donuts with a nice melty cheese before frying if you dare…but you will definitely eat more than one. (Consider yourself warned!)
