For those who love the aroma of sweet spices, as much as I do, this is one of the best sweet treats you’ll ever eat. Although this is also a yeast-based dough, deep fried and then covered in a sweet syrup, the flavours are delicate and completely different to plaited koeksisters that most South African’s know and love so much.
