This month we, under the guidance of Linda (our master baker), made koeksisters.What an adventure. We were all prepared with our aprons, mixing bowls and woodens spoons but ended up mixing the dough with our hands. Firstly Linda explained how she made the syrup the night before - complete with diagrams on a makeshift whiteboard on her dining room wall.Then we set to work in two groups to make the batter. It was a messy business but soon we had dough that was ready to be rolled out.Linda appeared with these amazing koeksister cutters which took away all the stress of cutting the strips evenly. We made loads of koeksisters and while we were busy, Linda deep fried the raw koeksisters and then dunked in the cold syrup. We were sampling as we went along and enjoying some wine and Fiona's homemade lemonade. We had a few 'doughy' koeksisters but we ate those too...Vannessa - who came along to watch - also enjoyed sampling the morsels we produced.Afterwards we watched the dvd of Vannessa's 4d scan. Thanks to all the ladies who attended..it was lots of fun.
