Koeksisters image

This is a traditional South African dessert. These very addictive treats are not for people who are conscious of weight or sugar intake! These freeze fantastically well and are thus a great lifesaver for when unexpected company arrive. Time to make does not include overnight chilling time.

My koeksisters came out perfectly crispy and golden brown, just like the ones my grandmother used to make. The syrup was the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.
