KOEKSISTERS

Ingredients:

• 9 oz of brown sugar
• 1/4 pint water, cinnamon
• 1 oz butter
• 1 egg
• 6 oz self raising flour
• Oil for frying

Method:

Dissolve the sugar in the water.
Add sprinkle of cinnamon with a piece 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 until 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 and fry for 4-5 minutes, dip in syrup and serve hot.
