Ingredients
 
 

  • 7 cups flour
  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 10 g packet dry yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 750 ml oil for deep frying

Chicken Mayo Filling

  • 500 g chicken fillets diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp spice for chicken
  • 2 cloves
  • mayonnaise to taste
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp mixed herbs
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix sugar, yeast and some lukewarm water together and leave to foam,
  • Sift salt and flour together. Pour yeast mix into flour and knead.
  • Keep adding water a little at a time and keep kneading until it is the consistency of bread dough.
  • Cover with a cloth and put in a warm place. Leave 1 hour to rise to approximately twice its original size.
  • Knead the dough down and spread it flat over a well oiled surface, approximately 1½ cm thick. Cut into squares of about 6 x 6cm. You may cut them smaller for cocktail bites or larger if preferred.
  • Stretch each individual piece somewhat before sliding it into very hot oil. This will help to make a hollow for the filling.
  • Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Turn once only.
  • Do not cook too many together at one time - they rise out again.
  • Drain on kitchen paper.

For the Chicken Mayo Filling

  • Sprinkle lemon juice over chicken.
  • Fry in a pan with some oil until brown.
  • Add spices and about 50ml water to simmer in for 15 minutes.
  • Simmer until dry. Remove cloves. Ensure chicken pieces are small.
  • Mix with mayonnaise to taste and fill fatcakes.
