In reply to Penny. Penny you can cut the raw mixture in the pan with a butter spreaded knife before you put it into the oven. You can also use oil on the knife instead of butter.

In reply to Penny. Ooh, we're not sure Penny. Crumbs can always be recycled into bases for tarts, rather than using smashed biscuits? Perhaps our friends at Food24 will be able to help :)

Please can you help? I have been making beskuit for years but wonder if there is something i can add to stop the wastage when cutting before drying in the oven?? Thank you!

Yes, it should be fine. But have a look here for adaptations: http://dish.allrecipes.com/yeast-the-basics/

In reply to elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth :) We've converted the ml to kg for you and updated the recipe accordingly. 3.25 litres of flour is equal to 2kg, or about 16 cups. That should make it a bit easier :) Let us know how your rusks turn out!

I fully understand the 625 ml Cake Flour but not the 3,25 ml Flour ???? Would it not be more understandable if the 3,25 ml is giving in grams measurement? In other words would it be right to use 3,25 Kilo Grams of Flour???? According to the fluids and butter it seems as though it could be kg…. 3,25 Kg Cake flour or maybe it is supposed to be 3X 1 Liter measurement…plus extra 25ml Flour???? Very confusing…Thanks E

In reply to Norma Farmer. Hi Norma :) Both are supposed to be cake flour. It's split up so that you can mix the first batch (625 ml) in and let it stand, before then later adding the rest of the flour bit by bit. Hope that helps and that your rusks aren't all eaten straight out of the oven! :)

Hi, thank you for this recipe I have a question about the ingredients it says in one place 625 ml cake flour and then later about 3.25 litres cake flour, is one of them supposed to be SR flour? Is it in fact 625 ml cake flour and 3.25 litres cake flour?
