I love rusks, but after you have made them a few times and realise how much sugar and fat go into them, you feel more and more guilty about eating them. I have experimented with many so called ‘healthy’ recipes and in my experience if you drop the fat content too much the rusks end up super hard. But I have successfully reduced the sugar in this recipe by 80% and added lots of fibre rich ingredients making it tummy friendly. And there is no compromise in flavour! The whole family will love them. Low sugar high fiber rusks 2 cups cake flour 2 cups nutty wheat or brown flour 2 cups bran flakes 2 cups desiccated coconut 1 cup oats ½ cup of toasted seeds (breakfast mix; omega mix; ultimate mix) 15 ml bicarbonate of soda 15 ml baking powder 15 ml cream of tarter 150g brown sugar 2tsp cinnamon 10ml vanilla essence 100g honey Non nutritive sweetner (the equivalent of 20 spoons of sugar) 5ml salt 400g butter, just melted 2 large eggs, beaten 800ml buttermilk Preheat the oven to 200˚C. Sift together all the flowers and add the remaining dry ingredients. Make a well in the centre and pour in the melted butter, honey, buttermilk and eggs. Mix to form a thick dough. Spread into a greased baking tin and bake until risen and golden brown, about 45 mins to an hour. Allow to cool completely before cutting into long thin pieces. You can speed up the cooling process by putting it into the fridge or freezer. Arrange spaced out on a baking tray or wire rack and dry out in the oven at 80˚C, for a couple of hours until crisp and dry.
