Koeksisters is a traditional South African confectionery made of fried dough infused in syrup or honey. There is also a Cape Malay version of the dish, which is a fried ball of dough that is rolled in desiccated coconut and called a koesister.
The name derives from the Dutch word “koek” and “sissen” (to sizzle).
Koeksisters are prepared by frying plaited dough strips in oil, then submersing the hot fried dough into ice-cold sugar syrup. Koeksisters have a golden crunchy crust and liquid syrup centre, are sticky and sweet, and taste like honey.
