Flip me. If you go to the hub before speaking directly to someone with whom you claim to have had a good business relationship for years, please remind me not to do business with you.

I'm trying to think of something constructive to say. Some sort of valuable contribution to this thread. And all I can think of is this recipe for koeksisters. 

 

You will need: 4 cups cake flour, 2 cups self raising flour, ⅓ cup sugar, 2.5ml salt, 10g (1 pkt) instant yeast, 10 ml fine cardamom, 10ml fine ginger, 10ml fine cinnamon, 10ml aniseed, 1 large egg, 15ml oil, 30ml butter, 1½ cup hot water and 1½ cup) milk. 

 

You will need oil for deep frying seperately and some desiccated coconut for sprinkling later.

 

For the syrup you will need: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1 cinnamon stick and 2 cardamon pods.

 

Mix flour with spices, sugar, yeast and salt. Melt butter in hot water and mix milk. To dry ingredients add egg, oil and milk-water mixture. Mix thoroughly to form a soft smooth dough. Leave to rise for about 1- 2 hours in a warm place. Once risen, moisten hands with oil and roll dough into a sausage shape and cut into 2cm slices. Set aside to rise again. Lightly stretch slices to form an oval shape and deep fry in medium hot oil until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. 

 

Making the syrup. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a slow boil, stirring to ensure sugar does not burn. Stir until the sugar syrup becomes slightly sticky. Boil the koeksisters in it for 1- 2 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with a little of the dessicated coconut and serve hot with some tea and a good skinne story.

I have never understood the classic "moan on thehub without mentioning the shop" tactic. Why? It doesn't help you, us or the shop.

 

If everybody spent as much time trying to solve the problem as they did bleating about it on social media the world would be a far better place.

The owner was a bit of a dwiss but the coffee was good.

Recipe for koeksisters, this is bike Hub not cooking hub. Now if you posted the photo of that koeksister that's being passed around, would be less constructive but far more distracting.

Mmmmm....koeksisters.

Point of order: that's koesisters you're talking about. Koeksisters is twisted into figure of 8 shapes, have a hard shell soft inner and is as yummy as koesisters!

 

 

 

 

 

However I am very definitely having to write that recipe down! Gotta know my Cape Town cooking!

Three pages of seriousness and in the blink of an eye we managed to turn this thread into something beautiful.

 

Songs and recipes.

 

I love this place.
