Makes 36 – 40 rusks

Preparation: 15 min

Cooking: 30 – 35 min

Drying: 3 – 4 hours

Ingredients:

  • 800 ml (3 1/2 C) self-raising flour
  • 5ml (1t) baking powder
  • 180 ml (3/4 C) brown sugar
  • 500 ml (2 C) bran (crushed all bran flakes works well)
  • 125 ml (1/2 C) oats
  • 125 ml (1/2 C) desiccated coconut
  • 125 ml (1/2 C) sunflower seeds or seed mix
  • 180 ml (3/4 C) raisins (optional)
  • 250 ml (1 C) plain yoghurt
  • 1 egg

Note: You can substitute the yoghurt with coconut cream and the butter for margarine for a dairy free option

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 180 Degrees Celsius and grease a 29 cm x 20 cm baking tin
  • Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl
  • Add the sugar and remaining dry ingredients and mix
  • Whisk the yoghurt and egg together and pour in the melted butter while still whisking
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient mix and mix well until a sticky dough forms (using your hands here works well)
  • Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean
  • Leave to cool and cut into rusks
  • Preheat the oven to 90 Degrees Celsius and arrange rusks on a large baking sheet to dry for 3 – 4 hours

Make a pot of tea and dunk a rusk – enjoy!
