Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup raspberry preserves
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup water

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the melted butter and warm water, and mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope about 12 inches in length. Cut each rope into 2-inch pieces, then shape each piece into a ball.
3. Heat the oil in a large saucepan until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the dough balls in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry preserves, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the ingredients are combined and the syrup is thick, about 10 minutes.
5. Dip the fried koeksisters into the syrup and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
6. To make the Homemade Raspberry Syrup, combine the raspberry preserves, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the ingredients are combined and the syrup is thick, about 10 minutes.
7. Serve the raspberry syrup over the warm or cooled koeksisters.
8. Enjoy!
