Koeksisters are made by frying plaited strips of dough in oil until they develop a golden, crunchy crust. Immediately after frying, the hot dough is submerged into ice-cold sugar syrup, which soaks into the centre, creating a liquid syrup core. This process results in koeksisters that are very sticky and sweet, with a flavour reminiscent of honey. The contrast between the crisp exterior and the syrupy inside makes them a unique and indulgent treat.
