What is "oeksister "?

Koeksister is a traditional South African sweet pastry that is made from a twisted and braided dough that is deep-fried until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and sweet and syrupy on the inside. The dough is made from flour, sugar, and butter, and is flavored with cinnamon and other spices. After the dough is fried, it is soaked in a sugary syrup made from water, sugar, and lemon juice, giving it its characteristic sweet and tangy taste. Koeksisters are often enjoyed as a dessert or snack and are a popular treat throughout South Africa.
