Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 kg self-raising flour or regular flour with 7 tsp baking powder
  • 140 grams whole-wheat flour
  • 100 grams All-Bran flakes
  • 125 grams toasted or plain muesli or substitute with oats and raisins
  • 1 cup seeds chia, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame
  • 200 grams sugar
  • 5 ml salt
  • 5 ml baking powder for fluffiness
  • 400 grams butter melted
  • 200 ml sunflower oil
  • 500 ml buttermilk
  • 3 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

Stepwise Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, whole-wheat flour, All-Bran flakes, oats, raisins, seeds, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  • In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sunflower oil, buttermilk, and lightly beaten eggs. Whisk until well blended.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  • Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking tray. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, allow the mixture to cool in the tray for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the tray and place it on a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, slice it into even pieces.
  • Arrange the sliced rusks back on the baking tray in a single layer. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are crispy and golden.
  • Let the rusks cool on a rack before storing them in an airtight container.
