Traditional South African Biscotti-Style Rusks Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I grew up eating Ouma's Rusks, and these taste almost exactly the way I remember them.
    When I was making them, I mis-wrote the recipe down and used brown sugar instead of castor sugar, and they still came out beautifully.
    I definitely will be making these again for my South African mum.
