Great tasting South African rusk recipe

Ingredients

1 kg Self raising flour

10 ml Salt

10 ml Baking powder

375ml Sugar

1 litre All Bran uncrushed (or use 750 ml Wheat cereal biscuits)

250g Butter

2 Eggs

500ml Buttermilk

100ml Olive oil

1/2 cup Sunflower seeds

1 cup Sultanas

Preparation

Crush the All Bran and mix with the rest of the dry ingredients

Melt the butter and leave to cool slightly

Mix the buttermilk, eggs and olive oil together and then add to the butter

Mix this mixture into the dry ingredients and knead well

Place in a buttered baking dish

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees until cooked through

Allow to cool before cutting into your desired size

You can eat as is for a soft bread type snack or you can dry out (the traditional South African way) in the oven for a few hours at 100 degrees celcius, until hard

Keep the oven door slightly ajar (I use the arm of a wooden spoon) to allow moisture to escape

Makes about 60 small rusks

Cook's Notes

You can also add coconut You can also add chopped dates (pre-soaked in warmed milk) If the mixture seems too dry, just add some milk
