Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Filling and Syrup:

  • 1 cup custard, chilled
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat the egg and milk together, then add to the flour mixture. Mix to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Shape and Fry: Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into strips. Plait the strips and press the ends together. Deep fry the koeksisters in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Fill with Custard: Fill a piping bag with chilled custard and inject it into the center of each koeksister.
  5. Make Syrup: In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cinnamon. Boil until syrupy. Dip the warm koeksisters into the syrup, coating them evenly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the koeksisters to cool and the syrup to set before serving.
