This weekend we went on a baking spree. First we made muffins, lots and lots of different muffins, which was fun, and I got my younger daughter to help, so it was also some quality time. (It also worked out well because one of my best friends gave birth a few weeks earlier than expected, so we had some freshly baked muffins to take when we went to see the new baby).
Then, I got the whole family busy and we made some South African rusks.Â

 South African rusks are a traditional food also known as beskuit, in Afrikaans. They are dry and hard (or twice-baked) and were originally prepared in
South Africa by the Dutch for traveling long distances in a hot climate. Rusks were a bread that wouldn’t spoil. Now, all over
South Africa, rusks are eaten as snacks, dipped in coffee, tea, or milk.We made buttermilk rusks and used this highly recommended recipe which I found on recipezaar.com
