Step by step how to cook Cape Malay koesister (doughnut):
- Boil potatoes in a pot of water, and mash whilst still hot, add a little of the water used to boil the potatoes in, to smooth out the mixture..
- Sift the flour with the salt, spices and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle over the yeast and whisk through..
- Melt the butter, then warm the milk and add to the butter, add the oil and eggs. Mix well then add to the mashed potatoes..
- Make a well in the centre of the flour and add warm milk mixture. Mix into a soft dough. Place into a clean lightly oil surface and knead for 15 minutes, or alternatively in a mixer for 10 minutes. Mix until an elastic, smooth dough is achieved..
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl, lightly oil the top of the dough in the bowl and cover with cling wrap, leave in a warm area to prove until double in size..
- Again, on a lightly oiled surface, roll out the dough into two logs, cut into equal size portions and shape like a koesister. Leave for 10-15 minutes, to further prove..
- Heat the oil, until hot. Lift the koesister gently, further shape if needed. Fry until golden brown on both sides..
- Drain on kitchen towel/absorbing paper. Once cooled, make the sugar syrup by adding the 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water to 4 cardamom pods and 1 stick of cinnamon, bring to a simmer and cook until thick and syrupy..
- Once the koesister have cooled down, dip them into the sugar syrup on a low heat and then sprinkle with the desiccated coconut. Enjoy with a cup of rooibos tea!.
