HOW TO MAKE FATIMA SYDOW'S KOESISTERS - PART 1

[@CatMommaJ]

This is the one I follow ❤ RIP Fatima. You made my heart happy with your recipes.🎉

[@doreensaal3400]

Rest in peace Mrs Fatima. Thank you for your recipes.❤

Dear Fatima. Your voice makes me feel at home with that wonderful SA humor, now I live in Norway doing my PhD and I keep making your food so I can feel at home. My family in SA always made Norwegian food when we celebrated our heritage, now that I am in Norway , I find myself craving South African food and your channel is a Gold Mine of all my favourites. I just love it. When people ask me what do South Africans eat besides braai, I just say go to your channel! Love it! Love it! Love it! It was only when I lived in Stellenbosch that I tried Cape Malay Koeksisters and I can never go back to the standard kind. Making them right now!

Thank you for sharing this recipe, I tried my Moms recipe last week and it came out so delicious, I cried the whole time making it because it was the first time I made it alone since my mum passed away a year ago. I even cried when I took my first bite and it tasted just like hers. Seeing you make them, made my heart feel lighter 💕🤗

Hi please tell me for how long must the syrup cook?

Hi Fatima my naam is Esmeralda. Ek was werkloos maar vandat ek jou videos begin kyk het,het my hele lewe verander. Ek bly in n olek waar ek nou elke dag bak vir iemand wat nog nooit n koek of vetkoek gebak het nie. Jy het my lewe verander. Jy is n super ster. Live Tima

R.I.P Fatima. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. 💔🙏🥲

I am in Australia and think that our flour may be slightly different to South African flour. The 550ml of liquid is too much for our flour I adjusted it slightly, the result was perfect. Thanks so much Fatima. You are such a star. I simply love you site.

Cape Malay Koesister Recipe Dry Ingredients 5 cups cake flour 3 tablespoons aniseed 2 and a half tablespoons of ground cinnamon 10grams of yeast 1 tablespoon of ground ginger 1 tablespoon of ground cardamon mixed with a little bit of ground dry naartjie/tangerine peel which is optional 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1 teaspoon of salt 1 quarter cup granulated sugar preferably castor sugar (Mix these all together excluding the sugar, mix sugar with wet ingredients to dissolve because it's granulated and not castor sugar) Wet Ingredients 300ml water 250ml milk 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 egg beaten(aside) guess extra large (Mix wet ingredients with the dry mix through don't worry if it sticks to hands when done mixing wash hands and take a little oil and oil the dough, clingwrap and set in warm place to rise after dough has double in size take out the bowl onto a floured surface and make balls not big balls cause they will rise again. Start frying in vegetable oil or sunflower oil when syrup is done. Fry until golden or as you like.. Take out and let dry on kitchen towel to drain excess oil.) The Syrup 3 cups of water 3 cups of granulated sugar 3 sticks cinnamon 6 cardamon pods 6 dried or fresh naartjie/tangerine peels(optional) (All together in a big pot until boiling turn heat down to medium low. Take the koesisters and let them steep in the syrup for about 3 mins. Take out and cover with dessicated coconut. Let it cool a bit and enjoy with a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate) Side Notes Dough should always be sticky not smooth for a lovely airy koesister. Put a small piece of the dough in pot to see if oil is ready... when dough comes up immediately you know the oil is ready. She had 10 pieces in her pot. But take note she had a big pot, you don't want to overcrowd your pot because you can actually cool down the oil temperature... Every time you add a new batch to the syrup add 3tablespoons of water. When the bubbles get to much in the syrup you need more water.. so add water. 😉😇😊💝

I made your Koesisters Fatima. And they were amazing. Just like I remember when I was young.

Making another batch this weekend. Gotta teach my millennials and they loving it.

❤ ☕ Cape Malay Koesister Recipe by aunty Fatima ☕❤ Dry Ingredients: - 5 cups cake flour - 3 tablespoons aniseed - 2.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon - 10g yeast - 1 tablespoon ground ginger - 1 tablespoon ground cardamom mixed with a little ground dry naartjie/tangerine peel (optional) - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/4 cup granulated sugar (preferably castor sugar) Mix all dry ingredients together, excluding sugar. Mix sugar with wet ingredients to dissolve. Wet Ingredients: - 300ml water - 250ml milk - 3 tablespoons melted butter - 1 extra-large egg, beaten Mix wet ingredients with dry mix. Don't worry if it sticks to hands; wash hands and oil them before handling the dough. Clingwrap and set in a warm place to rise. Once dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl onto a floured surface and make small balls (not big, as they will rise again). Fry in vegetable or sunflower oil when syrup is ready. Fry until golden or as desired. Remove and let dry on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil. The Syrup: - 3 cups water - 3 cups granulated sugar - 3 cinnamon sticks - 6 cardamom pods - 6 dried or fresh naartjie/tangerine peels (optional) Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Let koesisters steep in syrup for about 3 minutes. Remove and cover with desiccated coconut. Let cool slightly and enjoy with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. Side Notes: - Dough should always be sticky, not smooth, for a lovely airy koesister. - Test oil readiness by placing a small piece of dough in the pot; if it rises immediately, the oil is ready. - Avoid overcrowding the pot, as this can lower the oil temperature. - Add 3 tablespoons of water to the syrup each time a new batch of koesisters is added. - If bubbles form excessively in the syrup, add more water.

[@Fluffy-777]

Hello, thanks! This is yummy! How long can the dough last in the fridge for?

I absolutely LOVE these things my gosh 😍 Are the aniseeds absolutely needed? I can't seem to find them in my shops ahaha
