    Great Rusks, but far to sweet, I suggest that you at least halve the amount of sugar.

    These are quick as a wink to put together and have a lovely flavour. The reason for 2 cups sugar being too much is that in USA, the sugar is as fine as what we know castor sugar to be in SA. So, as a rule of thumb I always reduce the amount of sugar in a recipe by 1/3 and that adjusts it to the correct amount. Dankie Skattie, I will make these regularly!
