This Recipe Makes ± 32 Biscuits

Nuttikrust Copycat Biscuits are my alternative of the original Bakers Nuttikrust Biscuits (Cookies). These are a childhood favourite with that irresistible crunch to it. Having a blend of oats & caramel, this makes an awesome snack for everyone at any time of day.

Being South African, these biscuits are a must have in every household. I was craving these biscuits & decided why not try my baking skills in the kitchen & so I worked up this amazing recipe which tastes just like the original biscuits.

Frequently Asked Questions & Cooking Tips

Expert kitchen guidance and troubleshooting for making the best Nuttikrust Copycat Biscuits

How should I store Nuttikrust Copycat Biscuits to maintain freshness?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 to 2 weeks. For milk-based sweetmeats like burfee or soji, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 to 10 days.

Can I substitute butter with margarine or oil?

Pure butter or ghee provides the authentic rich aroma and texture characteristic of traditional Indian sweetmeats and bakes. Margarine can be used in a pinch, but butter delivers superior flavor.

Hi, thank you so much.
Will try soon.

Thank you Mary. I do not roast the oats first as I try to make my recipes as simple as possible…I find they taste just as good without being roasted.
