traditional? poor me I have never heard of them, my parents were english, and the first time I was invited to a braai - BBQ I was 14, ja ja, shame hey, never mind I have made up for it in a big way and won't let anyone near the BBQ now and do it all as my husband watches lol
but this weekend I am going to bake some traditional Hertzoggies baaie dankie

Maybe I should have said that this is traditional in the Afrikaans community. The recipe had it's origin in South Africa though. Hoop jy gaan dit geniet!! No, you see, I have to do everything else, so, I leave the bbq for him to do. I will make die pap en sous and everything else with a smile. I have to let him feel he is still the man in the house!!!

I would love to make this, but I'm not sure how to convert this recipe. I wish we would totally convert to the metric system

This is my absolute favourite. I only make it twice a year though as I haven't got cold hands and must get up early to make them. Thank goodness for fridges as you need to keep the dough cold.! Thanx for sharing your recipe with us
