Koeksisters

[Yamma]

Ok - been wanting to try this for some years now. I'm totally aware of why I waited so long now. This was a mess. Dixie may ban me from the kitchen forever and I honestly wouldn't blame him.

These are called Koeksisters. A South African treat that is a braided dough, deep fried, then dipped in a sweet syrup, and chilled.

Here's where I got the recipe.....yes I know you are supposed to chill the syrup, but I'll be honest - that shit didn't work for me. Had to make another batch tonight and dipped those suckers in warm syrup.
