Here in Kent UK Ive bought Koeksisters from a SPAR in West Malling, £ 5 a pack, but lately they are out of stock so Im going to ask my Wife to bake them as My Son adores them.

Are you dropping them in hot straight from the oil? Is your syrup ice cold? Those two things are essential. You could also be over working the dough, it's a very quick dough, no glutens which might be acting as a barrier to the syrup absorption once fried. I dunno seems odd. This is not the best explaind recepie either, though. In fact you dont want your dough "shiny and smooth" as she says because that's too much kneeding already. Try mixing without touching the dough, a hand "pastry blender" is all you need, avoid using a machine unless you know exactly when to stop which is almost immiediately. Light touch, almost like making scones, keep your butter ice cold..............

1. I soaked mine in the syrup. This seems to work.
2. In hindsight, I over worked the dough hence me having to do No. 1. Thanks for the tip EquestAnton.

[@equestanton1017]

What are the sticks in the syrup!? Where is the cream of tartar?

[@ia76]

EquestAnton I thought I was the only one who realized

[@josscassidy2757]

Cinnamon sticks.

[@tamzingoke2714]

I stopped watching and started scrolling through the comments to see if I was the only one who noticed the addition of cinnamon sticks to the syrup 😂

[@equestanton1017]

@@josscassidy2757 LOL Yea, but they only appeared after the syrup was cooled. No mention at all, just there suddenly like floaters that wouldn't flush. Ginger, lemon zest, cream of tartar, green cardamon pods, cinnamon, cloves, rose petal, orange blossom water, lemon juice even honey etc all add a lovely delicious taste and smell. It's a fragrant syrup. Those are the most common flavours in the syrup but everyone has their own combination and traditions.
