A proper South African morning starts with a dunk. ☕

We’re sharing our famous Ouma Swanepoel’s buttermilk rusks recipe, so you can bake a little of that comfort at home.

INGREDIENTS
• 1.5 kg self-raising flour (3 × 500 g)
• 500 g butter
• 3 eggs
• 1½ cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups buttermilk, amasi or sour milk

METHOD
1. Rub the butter into the flour, then add the salt and baking powder.
2. Beat the eggs and sugar, then add the milk.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients without overmixing.
4. Transfer to greased loaf tins and bake at 180°C for 1 hour.
5. Allow to cool, then cut or break into pieces.
6. Dry in the oven at 70°C until completely dry and crisp.

Save this for your next baking day.
If it didn’t taste like your last trip - that’s because you’re not here. 😉

You don’t always have a whole day to yourself. Sometimes, an hour is just what you need. 🌿

Our Gentle Pause at Dune Ridge’s bush spa brings together a 30-minute facial and a 30-minute back, neck and shoulder massage—a little time to release tension, refresh your skin and simply be looked after.

We use Skin Creamery for our facials, a beautiful South African skincare range made with naturally derived ingredients, African botanicals and nourishing plant oils.

Gentle Pause is one of the facial options on our spa menu, perfect for when you need some breathing room in a busy week.

An hour for yourself. The rest can wait a little.
