Traditional South African Koeksisters Recipe: A Sweet Twist on Doughnuts

Features:
    Cuisine:

    When making large batches of koeksisters, use two bowls for the syrup. One stays in the fridge while the other is in use. Alternate your bowls and you'll have ice cold syrup the whole time. It's also very convenient to have your syrup bowl resting in a bowl of ice to keep it cold.
