I have been playing around with my rusk recipe (wholewheat buttermilk rusks) and I have tweaked it a little for completely different version. Hubby says these are better! A lower GI version, if you like.

Nikki, once again your rusk recipe is fantastic!! I have made this several times for the family and friends who all rave about it. For some reason my American family will not eat these when they are the chunky dunky kind of rusk that we South Africans are used to, so I cut these into thin fingers like Italian biscotti. When cut like biscotti I cannot keep up with the supply! Thanks for an excellent recipe.

    EXCELLENT!! My DH loves rusks, and pronounced these perfect, just sweet enough, and healthy to boot! I've never made rusks before, and found it much easier than I expected. These will be a regular bake for me from now on, we all love them! Thanks Nikki, made for PAC Fall 2008
