Easy Tasty Syrupy KoekSisters recipe. They are crunchy on the outside and soft and melting on the inside, drenched in sugar syrup.

Tasty Syrupy KoekSisters.

Below is my recipe for South African koeksisters. They are not a baked recipe but are fried in oil on top of the stove in a pot. The syrup is made the day before and cooled in the fridge overnight.

For when you fry the plaited dough, you dip the hot koeksister in the cold syrup and it sucks it up. In that way it is filled with amazing tasty syrup. Cool the koeksisters and keep in the fridge as long as they last.

How To

You make the syrup first and cool it over night. The next day mix the dough and cut it into strips and plait the dough strips. Put aside and heat up the oil to fry them in. They will turn over once one side is cooked. As they come out of the hot oil you will dip them into cold syrup and then store them in fridge for serving.

Keeping or storing.

The syrup may be kept for about 2 weeks in the fridge in a sealed container, for the next batch. Or freeze the syrup for about 3 months (as its made of sugar)

The dough can also be made ahead a day or two and kept in the fridge for plaiting.

The cooked koeksister will keep in the fridge for about a week, covered so they don’t dry out. They are also freezable sealed for about 3 months.

Serve these syrupy koeksister for tea time treat or snack. A delicious dessert to serve.
