South African Traditional cuisine - recipes influenced by many cultures over hundreds of years. Outdoors and indoors recipes that came through the years, and which has now become household recipes, passed from one generation to the next. Diverse cooking methods that stems from the 1800's when there were no facilities, apart from open fires, and living and cooking in the outdoors. This lead to the development, through trial and error, of unique ways and measures to ensure a diverse, healthy diet, where no wastage could be afforded, despite the lack of facilities etc. Due to the "trekking", meal times, especially dinner and Sunday lunch times, became very important social affairs, where many tales, planning and the exchange of news and new ideas with regards to handling, acting and social skills protocols were exchanged, especially, since due to the "trekking", many new cultures and different climates etc. were found and experienced, each with its unique rules of acceptable behaviour and social protocols. This holds true even today, where numerous gatherings etc. be it family orientated or close friends meeting for sports events, still takes place on weekends in the form of either informal “braai’s or potjiekos” or more formally in the form of Sunday lunches. 7 Baking Apple Syrup Cake About This Recipe "This is one of my best loved desserts because it brings back childhood memories of huge Sunday lunches with family and friends." Ingredients CAKE 3 tablespoons butter 2/3 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 cup cake flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 pinch salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup milk 2 cups sliced cooked apples SYRUP 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup butter Directions Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one by one beating well after each addition. Sift dry ingredients together and add to mixture. Add milk mixing well. Add vanilla extract. Pour into greased Pyrex dish (9'' x 12") and spread evenly. Pack apple pieces evenly over batter. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes checking at 25 minutes. Boil all syrup ingredients together for 5 minutes and pour over hot cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. 8 Buttermilk Rusks Ingredients 4 lbs self-raising flour 1 lb pure butter, firm 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons salt 3 large eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon vanilla 6 cups buttermilk, to mix in (about) Directions Oven: 350 deg. F. Grease 2 flat, large cookie tins. Use the coarse side of a grater, and in a large bowl grate the butter into the flour. Then use your hands to rub it in until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the salt and sugar. Add the vanilla to the beaten eggs, and stir into the flour mixture (just roughly). Add enough buttermilk to mix to the consistency of scone dough, i.e. soft and somewhat sticky, but not wet. You should need about 6 cups, but it could be more or less. Have a bowl of quite warm water ready, and dip your hands into it. Now form large balls of dough, but do so lightly. The balls should be about 1/3 smaller than tennis balls (sorry, hard if you can't demonstrate!) Pack these, touching one another, on the greased tins. Do not pack close to the edges of the tins, as the dough will rise considerably. Directions Baking time depends on a few variables such as the size of the balls -- generally about 45 to 60 minutes. The rusks should be well-risen and golden-brown on top. Do peek, and don't let it burn. Test with a skewer. Cool in tins, but they don't have to be cold to proceed:. Use a serrated knife (some people simply break up the soft rusks) and cut into shapes convenient for handling -- about 3 inches in length and 1 1/2 inches in width. But you will never be able to cut these rusks neatly! They crumble a lot -- don't worry, it can't be helped. Put out the crumbs for the birds. Using the same tins, stack them very loosely and at an angle, one row supporting the next. 9 Dry overnight in a cool oven of about 170 deg. F, with the oven door wedged open a crack. They must dry out completely. Next day make sure rusks are dry, cool well, and keep in airtight tins. 10 .
