Ouma Rusks - Wikipedia

In 1939, when Great Depression was biting hard, a dominee in the little Eastern Cape town of Molteno made an offer to a number of women at a church meeting. After the first bake, the bolletjies are delicately torn from one another. What happens here is critical. Ideally, fine strands of angel hair-like gold must form the sought-after veertjies or feathers of the rusk. The lighter the feathers, the better the baker. From here, those golden strands are set in the drying process, ready to be soaked again and enjoyed as a kind of soft marshmallow-cake combo.

Nannie first sold her rusks under the brand Uitspan, then Outspan. Eventually they became Ouma Rusks, and she became known as Ouma Nannie. Her husband was well-respected, and became mayor of Molteno for a record-breaking 21 years. The cookie is set by Krux Digital under the domain krxd.net.

Ouma Rusks 500g – Kalahari Moon

The barn at Friedenheim became a factory which unfortunately burnt down in 1952. A new, better one was built in its place – probably a good thing, because by then the little farm outside Molteno was something of a player in the dry foods market. The Ouma Rusk factory is the biggest employer in Molteno. An AGA is the secret weapon of many a farmer’s wife. With its four smaller ovens burning constantly at different temperatures, it’s the perfect vessel for the chain production of rusks. All rusks are twice-baked, as the French-origin Afrikaans word “beskuit” suggests. However, if you only have a conventional oven, this means continually turning the oven higher and lower for the baking and drying out processes, respectively. An AGA, on the other hand, can handle the first bake of the dough while also drying out the rusks as needed in the second phase – all at once. Rusks going soft? Make sure you keep them in an airtight container. Rusks with nuts in them may last for a shorter time period than those without. You can also dry them out again in a low oven.

The real ‘Ouma’, Nannie Greyvensteyn, is the lady on the left. Molteno nearly lost the factory to FoodCorp’s headoffices in Gauteng in 2011, when bad roads were bouncing the rusks to crumbs. But the Eastern Cape government intervened to fix roads and electricity, FoodCorp invested in a huge new plant next to the old one and Molteno remains the home of Ouma Rusks. I started in 2007 when my husband Kobus and I moved to Eldorado Farm,” Elise says. “I was baking for the home industry Dit & Dat in town at the time and wanted to make something with a longer shelf life. Rusks were the answer… and it hit the right spot. Soon, Kobus had to make deliveries to adjacent towns when he drove in their direction. Nowadays, during the peak season in winter, I bake over a half-ton of rusks every week. My AGA stove runs throughout winter so I can bake non-stop.”
