South African Crunchies image

This is a popular after school or lunch bag treat for all South African kids. Most South African baking is done using self-rising flour - and I highly recommend using it! The kind we get here in Canada is Brodie's.

I'm not sure what happened, but my crunchies turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These were a bit too crunchy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my crunchies turned out flat and greasy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
