Recipe - Koeksisters

9 ounce Brown sugar
One fourth pt Water
Cinamon
1 ounce Butter
1 Egg
6 ounce Self raising flour
Oil for frying

Koeksisters are easier on the mind and hands than fetkoeks. Fetkoeks are
deep fried bread dough then filled with meat or fruit. Very filling and
like all breads takes time to nurture the rising process. Koek sister are
similar but more like a cake.

Dissolve the sugar in the water. Add sprinkle of cinamon with a pice of
lemon. bring to the boil then allow to cool, discarding the lemon. Add the
butter, beat in the egg and get it creamy. Sift the flour and mix with the
butter/sugar mix untill smooth. Roll into a 9' square and cut into 18
pieces ( 3'x11/2'). Cut two slits in each piece but leave them joined at
the top, so it looks like a thing with three legs. Plait the legs and pinch
at the ends to seal. Heat oil to 350 F anf fry for 45 minutes, dip in
syrup and serve hot.
