Recipe:

Sexy, sweet, sensational sisters

• Four servings

Last-minute dinner date and you need to whip out a dessert? With all the sugar syrup from the koeksisters and the added cream, the result is a sweet caramel flavour.

You will need: 12 koeksisters and 250ml fresh cream

1. Fit about three koeksister in one ramekin bowl, fill all the ramekins.

2. Pour fresh cream over koeksisters to almost cover them.

3. Bake in preheated oven (180°C) for 20 minutes.

4. Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on top for a bit more colour.

5. For even more sweetness serve with ice cream. Instead of separate ramekins, you can also serve in one big dish.

Bake all 12 koeksisters with cream in one ovenproof dish (you might need more cream for this one). Bake for 30 minutes for this option.

Digital

Home Remedy

It is fly season. Keep those little irritations away with lemongrass oil, lavender, peppermint or eucalyptus oil in your diffuser or some citronella drops on a candle. Flies are drawn to strong smells and dirty things, so keep it clean, don’t be nasty.

Pro Tip

Keep your CV updated, make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date and be careful what you post on social media. Potential employers look at LinkedIn profiles and social media activity, so keep it professional and classy

Gedagte vir die dag

• Hoe maak ’n mens drome waar? Jy word wakker en begin.

•Moenie bang wees vir die groot struikelblokke voor jou nie, fokus op een ding op ’n slag. Onthou:

• Hoe eet mens ’n olifant? Happie vir happie.

• Is dit moontlik om ’n berg te verskuif? Natuurlik, kruiwa vir kruiwa.
