Rated 5/5 from 18 reviews, and baked fresh, not imported.

These are proper homemade South African buttermilk rusks, baked here in the UK in small weekly batches rather than shipped from South Africa. If you grew up on the homemade kind rather than the boxed kind, this is the one closest to a grandmother's recipe: a real buttermilk, eggy rusk with a dense, crunchy crumb that's made for dunking.

Because they're baked fresh rather than held as long-life stock, quantities are limited. When this week's batch is gone, it's gone.

Good to know:

  • Full 500g bag, freshly home-baked (not imported)
  • Baked at our Kingston bakery in small batches
  • Free UK mainland delivery on orders over £70

Ingredients: wheat flour (gluten), eggs, whole milk, salt, butter (milk, salt), cultured milk (milk, fresh cream, skimmed milk powder, bacterial cultures), raising agents, sugar.

Allergens: see ingredients in bold. Contains wheat (gluten), milk and eggs.

Frequently asked:

  • Are these the same as Ouma rusks? No. These are home-baked in small batches using a traditional family-style recipe, rather than the factory-made Ouma brand.
  • How long do home-baked rusks last? Best enjoyed within a few weeks. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  • How do you eat buttermilk rusks? Dunk in hot tea or coffee until softened, then bite: the traditional South African way.

Try our other flavours in our homemade South African rusks range, including Muesli and Cherry.
