In South Africa, we have rusks. Hard biscuits which you eat with coffee - thick, strong, sweet coffee! Hard biscuits you can give your children to when they are teething. Plain, buttermilk or dried fruit - so lovely. Traditionally, they had to be Ouma's Rusks which are as sacred to many south africans as hobnobs are to the british.
They are not Farleys Rusks which seem to be aimed at the teething baby market. Nope these are adult comfort food as much as anything. And as an expat, I miss the food like mad! I didnt eat many of them in South Africa but when you tell me I can't have something ..........
So, I found http://www.theafricanbiscuitcompany.co.uk/ - rusks by any other name. Sue is South African born and she has brought the recipee with her and moved/ improved. There are even some with white chocolate in them. Yum!
