Crispy Cake Rusk

An unforgettable delight for everyone back in those days.  Papa always bought it and brought it home for his three girls and Mother would  keep them  in an air tight container for us to have it for later with our evening tea, and how eagerly we  looked  forward for that tea time snack! Each bite of it tingled my tongue with joy as I dipped it in the milky tea. Years have passed now, yet memories of the past linger  in between and I brought a piece of my childhood back to life today!
