METHOD

Mix flour with spices, sugar, yeast and salt.Melt butter in hot water and mix milk.To dry ingredients add egg, oil and milk-water mixture.Mix thoroughly to form a soft smooth dough.Leave to rise for about 1 hour in a warm place.Once risen, moisten hands with oil and roll dough into a sausage shape and cut into 2cm slices.Set aside to rise again.Lightly stretch slices to form an oval shape and deep fry in medium hot oil until golden brown.Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towelSyrupPlace all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a slow boil, stirring to ensure sugar does not burn.Stir until the sugar syrup becomes slightly sticky.Boil the koeksisters in it for1- 2 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon.Sprinkle with a little of the dessicated coconut and serve hot.

Be generous when adding flavourings,you can add 20ml of ginger powder,instead of 10ml,this is what I did to add more flavour
