How To Make A South African Koeksister - Better Than Doughnuts?!
Today we make a South African classic, the Koeksister! Koeksisters are amazing little twisted doughnut like pastries with a crisp outside and a syrupy inside. I remember these growing up in South Africa and they're awesome! Full the ingredient list and more check out: realpassionfor...

Oh gosh, this has made my mouth water, I also grew up in South Africa but I've been in Ireland for almost 20 years. Needless to say, there aren't many koeksisters around this part of the world. Your video is one of the best koeksister demos I've seen here on youtube. There is another fried syrupy dessert, also crisp on the outside, and that is Indian jalebis. I grew up near Durban so they were also a regular feature of the food landscape. You should try them, they are slightly more tart than koeksisters and have saffron and cardamom in them, they are very moreish.

I'll have to try those, thanks! And yeah I have the same problem I haven't lived in South Africa in a long time and I never see one of these unless I make them
My mind is blown brother! Beautiful work. Mega skill.
I haven’t heard of these before! The texture of these sounds awesome too. Definitely unique! Thanks for sharing. 😃

I watched this vid while eating some. I'm from Namibia we have these here too. Gonna try to make it 1 day.
Hello, what a delicious looking treat. I could eat the whole tray. Thanks for showing us how to make this. Have a wonderful week.💕😀😉👏
love these, a real treat growing up in Rhodesia ( Zimbabwe) My mother still makes them in Perth down under, but as I live in the USA , I'll have to make them myself, and get over how many carbs in them, I can treat myself once in awhile, after all it is Christmas time.

Great dough recipe! 🙀 By the way, the syrup with ginger and lemon is good for cold relief in winter, too. Love from Japan.
These look absolutely delicious!!! "surreptitious" - LOL. I see what you did there. Thank you for the step by step approach. Your sense of humor is lovely. Keep up the great work!
These look amazing! I need to try this! They are so pretty too! New friend here!
Awesome recipe and great technique! These look so delicious, exactly like knotted doughnuts. Will definitely try them. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness. I’ve never seen these before but they are so adorable. Great idea using oil on your cutting board instead of flour. Thank you for that. I’m sure that simple syrup was delicious with the ginger and lemon. These look delicious. I can see why your Dad loved them. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful week. FW

Thanks Geoff! Yeah this is a unique one, South Africa has some interesting food fusions!
Reminds me of making challah and apple fritters. Fritters tend to have that crispy outside but gooey, jelly, underdone-like doughy inside.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe my friend.. Fully support, stay connect.
I love watching you braid the dough 🤣🤣, that was cute! These are very similar to Chinese and Korean donuts. The crunch is from the syrup but very soft or chewy inside...your version is the soft ones. Very interesting to see how it's made. It's always fun to see the similarity of foods/snacks from around the world. I need a food processor, it makes things so much easier! Using oil instead of flour is a great idea, less mess and the dough is more stretchy. I love the idea of flavoring the syrup in ginger and lemon, I need to remember that next time I make syrup for soda. Amazing recipe and video, adding this to my list of things to try! 👍LIKE #16

No worries @@Passionforfoodrecipes I had to ask my husband 1. How far away is ct? 2. Is ct in the Northern or Western cape? 3. Is ct near here? I had the idea but the info wasn't fully there, if he wasn't here I'd just have said no I don't think they're close to each other hahaha. The Eastern Cape is rural but beautiful, Western Cape is cold and rainy but mostly white and the Northern Cape is big, empty and dry
Doughnuts is my fav! This one is different to the usual doughnuts that's why I will give it a try. I can't wait to make and try this. I'm just wondering if the sugar syrup coated in the bread will get hard or not? I love your voice - so clear. The effects you made was so cute such as slicing the ginger and pealing the lemon. Also, the sound effects was perfect too. Great sharing - Sending love from California.
This is so fantastic...I love it 🤤🤤🤤

Hiya, I'm Coreen! As for the pronunciation of my name, it was almost right except for the short rolling r. I made extra super sure Graham knew how to pronounce koeksuster, where the name comes from and had the correct recipe. There are 2 ways to make these, one being the traditional Indian way and the other being traditionally Afrikaans. This one is the latter. Perhaps some day we'll make the koelie version which is pronounced a little bit rounder, feels more puffy, oily and rolled in desiccated coconut.
Just lovedddd ittt awesomeee
