Ingredients
1/3 cup Coconut flour
1 pinch Salt
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Psyllium Husks
2 Eggs
1/4-1/3 cup Milk/Cream
Method
Sift the dry ingredients together.
Beat the eggs with 1/4 cup of milk and add to the dry ingredients. Allow the mixture to stand for a minute to firm up. If it is too stiff, add the rest of the milk.
Heat enough coconut oil in a pan to cover the base of the pan.
Turn the heat down to LOW and either scoop spoons full of batter into the pan, or you can roll into balls and press down slightly.
Fry each side for 2-3 minutes.
These burn easily so FRY ON LOW HEAT.
Only turn them once after frying on one side.
Cut them open and serve with butter and your choice of filling

I have been informed that the below picture should be posted with this recipe as per the source, Jeanette’s Low Carb
Comments by Suria Meyer: A while ago you posted a recipe for banting vetkoek. While this is a bit far from traditional vetkoek it is a good recipe.
I don’t follow the banting lifestyle as I can’t get my head around eating that much fat. But I do limit carbs and like to try new things.
I did not like them in oil, they came out too oily so I used a nonstick pan, made them into balls, flattened them a bit, and baked with the lid on. They came out perfect!
I also tried the batter a bit more runny for flapjacks but it’s a bit difficult to turn them.
In the foto top left is the original version and the other 2 at the top are my favorite. The bottom one is the flapjack version that came out in heart shape by accident.
This is really interesting. Great idea with the heart-shaped one. Hugs!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will enjoy the Vetkoek when you try it.
Tried them today. Really not close in comparison to vetkoek. Like a softish biscuit. Not the best substitute.
Hi Karen, Thanks for your feedback. I am not a banter and as you will notice previous comments also said it to be different. Sorry about that, but I only share here what we receive from our FB members and what they also enjoy. Taste differs, and they liked it, sorry that it did not turn out as you may have hoped.
I love vetkoek, I haven’t had them in ages. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us! 😀
Glad you love Vetkoek. Hope you will enjoy this one as well.
Hi where do you get physallium husks?
Ruth, you will most likely get it in the specialty food section or a specialty food shop. As I am in Canada I will unfortunately not be able to give you more direction. Hope you find it.
They sell them at food lovers market, Dis-Chem
Thank you for answering – Ruth Not sure where you are in the world, but Psyllium is a form of fiber made from the husks of the Plantago ovata plant’s seeds. Try any health shop or specialty shop

Hi there. This is my recipe and has been poached and submitted by someone else. I realize I cannot control what is on the Internet the image attached to this recipe is of a regular wheat flour vetkoek and not the Banting version which is obviously misleading. Please feel free to check out the recipe on my blog and use the correct image instead.
Hi Jeanette – Sorry did not mean any harm or poaching or your recipe. Please provide me with your site info then I will update appropriately.
Sorry, I wasn’t accusing you of poaching, its just an ongoing issue, but I suppose once it’s out there in cyberspace, what can I do? Was my blog details not on my earlier post? I was signed into Wordpress…Anyway, here is the link.
