Southern African recipes: Justin Bonello's Buttermilk Rusks

If there is something uniquely South African it is buttermilk rusks - or karring melk beskuit in Afrikaans. South African rusks are of a texture somewhere between bread and cake, baked hard so that they must be dunked in coffee or tea or even hot chocolate. Yummy! And, of course, kudos Justin Bonello for sharing the recipe and video!
