Everything about Koeksister totally explained
A
koeksister or
koesister comes from the Dutch word
koekje, the diminutive of
koek meaning "cake". It is a
South African syrup-coated
doughnut in a twisted or
braided shape (like a
plait). It is prepared by
deep-frying dough in
oil then dipping the fried dough into cold
sugar syrup. Best eaten cold, koeksisters are very sticky and sweet and taste like
honey.
Koeksisters are of
Cape Malay origin. The
Afrikaner version is much more syrupy and crispy while the Cape Malay version's texture is more like that of a
cake, spicier, and usually covered in dried coconut. There is also a difference in spelling, the latter generally referred to as
koesister.
