Koeksister

There are always a few recipe requests that ladies are looking out for, and the Best shares would be ones that have been Tried and Tested.
Like these Koeksister...Doesn't these look divine😍. Yet another of many South Africans favorite sweet treat.
Special thanks to Sajida Rasool for sharing on her pic💕 and this is the recipe she had tried. Old family tried and tested recipes are simply the best👌

Koeksister (By Fatima Sydow)
My moms Koeksister recipe

Ingredients

4&1/2 cups of cake flour

1& 1/2 cups of lukewarm water

1 tsp of baking powder

1  sachet of Instant yeast

1 tablespoon of sugar

3  tbsp of butter( melted)

1 tsp of salt

1 cup of soft mashed potatoes

3 teaspoons of grinded or finely chopped dried naartjie peel

1&1/2 tablespoons of freshly grated  Ginger ( makes all the difference )

1 teaspoon of mix spice

1 teaspoon of aniseed

2 teaspoons  cinnamon

1/2 a teaspoon of freshly grounded cardamon seeds

Oil for deep frying

Sugar and stick cinnamon for sugaring

Fine coconut

Method

Mix all ingredients together with warm water ( add water until you get a sticky dough ) dough must be very soft/ almost wet .Knead dough for 10 minutes using a little oil on your hands to stop from sticking, rub some oil over dough , cover with cloth and allow to rise for an hour or when double in size  . Roll out into little ball shapes and fry in  oil on medium to high heat until dark brown . Sugar and cover with fine coconut .

Sugar water
Boil 3 cups of sugar with 3 cups of water and a few cinnamon sticks for about 35 minutes on high heat ...then simmer when sugaring the koeksister.

Makes about 40 koeksisters

Please note - Its very important to not have a dry and tight dough . It must be almost sticky - if your dough is tight your yeast won't have anywhere to expand , resulting in a dense and dry  koeksister .
