Ingredients

8 cups self-rising flour
4 cups ground All-Bran® cereal
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 ¾ cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
4 ½ sticks unsalted butter
4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a high-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the sides for easy removal.
Combine flour, ground All-Bran®, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and mix in cream. Add flour mixture and mix until well combined.
Spread out batter into the prepared baking sheet and use a knife to cut into slices; this will make removing the rusks easier once baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Reduce heat to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) and leave rusks in the low temperature oven for 4 hours to dry. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Cut into 80 slices.
