    I tried this recipe, but om my, maybe my lack of experience in the kitchen, when I rolled out the dough it became a sticky mess and any attempt to safe it by dusting the surface with flour just did not help. I ended up just using my fingers to get the dough into the pan and it was far too thick after it cooked. Perhaps I should try again !!

    Nice of you to bring this recipe to the Round Table, I am so glad you did for this is a wonderful recipe. I can see that South Africa has a lot to offer me if I ever get to travel there. High Five

    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

    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!!!

    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
