My husband is South African and told me about these and how much I'd love them...which I do! The only thing we do differently is add the juice of half a lemon and some fresh crushed ginger to the syrup...delicious!

These were yummy!! I have a friend from South Africa and when I came across this recipe I thought it would be fun to try out something from there..lol..I fried them this morning after making the dough last night, and they were very nice!! however even though they are really nice I dont really think there is anything 'special' to it. My only problem with this is that the dough was a bit too sticky for me to handle, and I couldn't braid them I tried to at first, but after three braids I gave up and just cut it into strips. However it might have been my fault, because I halved this recipe and since it calls for 3 eggs I added 2, so, it's a possibility that this was the problem, Very nice thanks!

This recipe was delicious! I had to make a dish from Africa for my geography class so I decided that this was the perfect recipe! Anyways..I also agree that the dough was too sticky to handle so I suggest that you should knead the dough while adding 3/4 cup of flour (at seperate times). It worked out great for me. Thanks for the recipe!!
