With winter having arrived, I had to make my favourite winter breakfast snack. I had so much fun making these and I’m still enjoying them to this day!

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-assist. Line and grease 2 medium baking trays, 60x25cm.
In a large mixing bowl, sieve the SASKO Cake Wheat Flour along with the baking powder and salt. Add the Safari Mixed Raisins and roughly chop the Safari Pecans Raw. Stir through the flour evenly.
In a large heatproof bowl, melt the butter. Stir the sugar through the melted butter until well combined. Add and mix in the buttermilk, eggs, and Moir’s Vanilla Essence.
Mix the wet ingredients through the dry ingredients, making sure not to overmix.
Spoon and evenly spread the rusk dough into the prepared trays. Be careful not to press out all the air. Score the rusks before baking for easy cutting after.
Bake for about 1 hour until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Reheat the oven to 90°C. Slice the rusks into neat logs and place onto a wire rack over a baking tray. Allow to dry out in the oven for about 3-4 hours, with the door slightly ajar using a wooden spoon to assist.
Serve with your favourite warm drink and enjoy!
