Koeksister

(Koe'sister)

Koeksister is a sweet South African snack with a sticky appearance. It is prepared by frying braided dough strips in oil, then dunking them into a cold sugary syrup. These sticky treats are sold on every major street in South Africa, and today they can even be found in most supermarkets.


It is recommended to top them with cinnamon or lemon juice before consumption.
