Koeksisters are a traditional South African pastry that originated from the Dutch colonial era. They are a type of fried dough that is twisted into a braid or knot shape, and then soaked in a syrup made from sugar, water, and sometimes lemon juice or cinnamon. The dough is typically made with flour, baking powder, salt, butter, milk, and eggs, and then deep-fried until golden brown. Once the koeksisters are fried and cooled, they are then immersed in the syrup, which gives them a sweet, sticky texture and a shiny, glossy appearance. Koeksisters are often served as a dessert or snack, and are a popular treat during festive occasions and holidays.
