Koeksisters Recipe

I have just found this recipe on the internet and can't wait to try making it as a surprise for my hubby!

It's a traditional South African sweet & I'm sure my hubby will appreciate a taste of home!

I tried this on my first visit to S.A and I must say I got hooked on them! The only thing is you can't eat too many otherwise you wont fit in your jeans!!!

Koeksisters - Very sticky & very sweet South African cake

Approximately 30 mins preparation & 5 mins cooking time

Ingredients

For the syrup:
1kg sugar
500ml (2 cups) water
2 pieces fresh green ginger (each 5cm), peeled and crushed
2ml (½ teaspoon) cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
Grated rind and juice of ½ lemonFor best results, prepare the syrup the day before and chill over-night

500g flour
2ml (½ teaspoon) salt
30ml (2 tablespoons) baking powder
55g butter, cut up
1 beaten egg

4. Allow the syrup to cool for a minimum of 2 hours in the fridge (best results chill over night).

Dough:

1. Sieve the flour, salt and baking power.2. Rub in the butter with your fingertips.3. In a separate bowl mix the beaten egg and 250ml (1 cup) of the milk or water.4. Add the dry ingredients to the egg/milk mixture and mix lightly.5. Add more milk/water if the dough is too stiff.6. Knead well until small bubbles form under the surface of the dough.7. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to stand for 30 minutes –1 hour.

Final steps:

1. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm.

2. Cut strips, 1cm wide

3. Plait either 2 or 3 strips together and cut them at a length of 8cm

4. Pinch the ends together.
5. Heat 7-8cm deep oil to 180-190°C and fry the koeksisters for 1-2 minutes (until golden-brown) on each side.

6. Remove them from the heat and drain on some paper town.

7. Soak them in the chilled syrup for 1-2 minutes.

8. Remove the koeksisters from the syrup and drain on a wire rack.

Hint: To keep the syrup cold, stand it in a bowl of ice whilst soaking the hot koeksisters in it.

Tell me if you try making it yourself! They are yummylicious!

£10 Gift Card in the post???

I just got my post half an hour ago & one of the letters felt like it had a card in it... I thought this was strange since I wasn't expecting anything like that!

When I opened the letter it had a £10 Tesco gift card in it!!! Yay!!!

This month has been a tough one because of Christmas & New Year's and we are "so fortunate" in this family to have birthdays on the 2nd, 5th and 9th of January too, so needless to say that January is a downer for us but this year it was a massive downer because of some other stuff too... but that is a whole other story!

Anyways, this £10 Tesco gift card, that I had forgotten about, is VERY welcome right now!!!

I will tell you how this gift card has come about... I signed up for a website called Valued Opinions, you sign up, tell them a bit about yourself and your household and consequently they send you surveys that match your profile.

The surveys are always interesting for me, many about baby or kids stuff considering I have small children and they always have a reward. I have been doing them as they come, never takes longer than a few minutes & the rewards have been adding up, £1 here, 50p there, £2.00 over there.

Eventually when you get to £10 & you can request voucher for loads of shops (eg.Marriott, Amazon.co.uk, Tesco, John Lewis, HMV, Marks & Spencer, Boots, Argos, Waitrose Wine Direct, Ocado, Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfridges, Outfit, Topman, Topshop and Wallis.) or you can donate it to your chosen charity!

Its great for getting some extra £££ to treat yourself, your kids or to put them aside for some extra dosh for Christmas! Who knows, it might even come at a time when it comes in really handy for some groceries!

I thought I could share this with you, as it might be of some use! I belong to a few survey websites but this one is by far the best & not a waste of time at all.

Join in here: www.valuedopinions.co.uk

Good Luck - The more details you fill in on the questionnaire the more relevant surveys you get!
