Steps:

• In a jug measure out the buttermilk then add the melted butter, eggs and oil and whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you get a thick dough-like batter. If it is a bit dry, add a splash more buttermilk. It should be fairly sticky.
• Empty the mixture into a rectangular baking tin that has been lined with baking paper and approx.23cm x 33cm with a 3 - 5cm rim. Spread it out to evenly in the tin. Bake for 45 minutes and until golden brown. *loosely cover with tin foil from about 20 minutes in to prevent the top surface from over brown. Remove and allow to cool.
• When the rusks are cool, remove the paper and place on large board. Cut them into fingers the size that you would like. Then place these on a large flat baking sheet lined with paper allowing some space between each rusk
• Dry out overnight (8 - 9) hours in a 60C oven or for 6 hours in a 100C oven Turn them over once if you can. If you cut your rusks very thick they might need a little more drying time.
