\"\"Oil for frying<\/p>\n

1 packet instant yeast<\/p>\n

2 dessert spoons fine cinnamon<\/p>\n

2 dessert spoons mix spice<\/p>\n

2 dessert spoons fine dry ginger\/fine ginger<\/p>\n

Half cup sugar<\/p>\n

1 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

1 large or 2 medium potatoes (Mashed)<\/p>\n

5 cups cake flour<\/p>\n

4 eggs<\/p>\n

100ml butter<\/p>\n

Half cup oil<\/p>\n

Half cup milk and half cup water<\/p>\n

Method<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add all dry ingredients in a bowl. Do not add the salt and yeast on top of each other. Add it separated from each other.<\/li>\n
  2. Boil potatoes. Mash your potatoes and use the water as well and add butter whilst the mash is still warm. Let the mash cool down then beat in your eggs.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the mash and eggs to the dry ingredients together with a cup of milk and water. Your dough must be very soft and sticky, if you need more water for a soft consistency then add some.<\/li>\n
  4. Knead, add half cup oil so it doesn\u2019t stick to your gingers and the bowl<\/li>\n
  5. Cover and leave in a oven of 70 degrees switched off for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n
  6. Knock down the dough and roll into a cylinder shape, about the thickness of a lunch rap roll. Cut into pieces of about 3cm and shaped I ovals, and leave to rise to double its size, then it will be ready to fry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Syrup<\/p>\n

    3 cups sugar<\/p>\n

    2 cups water<\/p>\n

    Whole ginger or cinnamon sticks (optional)<\/p>\n

    1 tsp butter or margarine<\/p>\n

    1 dessert spoon lemon juice<\/p>\n

    Cook to the consistency of cold oil<\/p>\n

    Syrup koeksisters, whilst syrup is cooking on stove<\/p>\n

    Note: 2 dessert spoons naarjie peel dried and grounded added to koeksisters are lovely colour.<\/p>\n
