Tasty Syrupy KoekSisters.
Below is my recipe for south african koeksisters, but also found this delicious recipe to share with you. 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.
