Brown rusks, buttermilk rusks or any form of rusks are a good crunchy start to a new day. A perfect way of eating breakfast quick or a lovely afternoon snack on the way to dinner. When you think of rusks you immediately think of your granny who used to make them. A very Afrikaans Affair!

This brown rusks recipe I have also had for years. Using real butter en the recipe makes it extra special. I also remember I made it for my family on my holiday when I had my first holiday as a young working lady, and especially my dad loved it. My mom used to have 2 large jars for white and brown rusks in our house and it was always full to enjoy at our 16H00 afternoon coffee break.

There are so many good reasons to eat healthy brown rusks which is the following:

Fibre helps digestion.

Isn't that enough reason to start baking your own brown rusks?

This brown rusk is a wonderful present for a friend: fill up a modern jar, make a cute label and note, add some ribbon and your friend will think of you every day until the jar is empty!

You can also buy a beautiful biscuit tin, add the brown rusks and also give it as a present.

With homemade presents, you can really fill joy in someone's heart.
