South African Koeksister - EatMee Recipes

The South African Koeksister is a traditional Afrikaner dessert, prepared by frying a dough & then infusing it in syrup or honey.

The word "koek"  derives from the Dutch word, meaning a wheat flour confectionery & "sister" refers to the tradition of two sisters plaiting doughnuts & thereafter dunking them into syrup. Most often, people mistakenly think that the word  "sister" in koeksister refers to a sibling, as the Afrikaans spelling in this case is "suster". As a result, koeksister is sometimes misspelled as "koeksuster".

This sweet treat should not be confused with the Cape Malay version called koe'sister which is a spicy dumpling version with a cake-like texture, & is often finished off with a sprinkling of coconut.

Koeksisters are traditionally made with yeast, although for this recipe I have omitted the yeast. They are still as delicious as the ones prepared with yeast.
