Frequently Asked Questions
What are buttermilk rusks?
Rusks are a twice baked South African biscuit, baked as a dough and then dried in a low oven for hours until hard. Buttermilk gives them a light tang and a softer crumb than plain rusks.
How do you dunk a rusk properly?
Dip for a few seconds until the outside softens but the centre still holds, then eat it before it collapses into the mug. Coffee and rooibos are the traditional partners.
How are home made rusks different from a packaged box?
Home made rusks are baked in small batches and dried without preservatives, so they have a fresher, more buttery flavour and a slightly softer crumb than a mass produced box.
