Few South African treats are as instantly recognisable as freshly made koeksisters. Crisp, golden and beautifully twisted, these plaited pastries are deep-fried before being dunked into an ice-cold lemon, ginger and cinnamon syrup, giving them their signature sticky, syrup-soaked finish. This classic koeksister recipe is a little project, but the reward is well worth it. Make a batch for Heritage Month, a family gathering or simply when you’re craving one of those nostalgic South African treats that’s impossible to eat just one of.
