Recipe's preparation

  1. Line a sqaure baking tin with baking paper.

    Add the optional saltanas and sunflower seeds at this point too


    4. Roll dough into golf ball size balls, and then form into a rectange. Place formed rusks into lined pan, starting from one end and placing each rusk right next to the other. Should make about 4 rows of 5 each.


    5. Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 mins at 180°C. Keep an eye on them so the tops do not burn.


    6. Use a knife to Separate rusks, and turn out onto a larger baking tray.  Crisp the rusks in the oven at 130° C  for about 2 1/2 hrs until crisped completely. No need to wait for oven to cool down, just lower temp and place the separated rusks back into the oven.

Tip

I make two separate batches (one with extras and one just plain buttermilk) and bake them together. Baking and drying out time stays the same and you get double the quantity for your effort! This is handy as they will disappear fast: very yummy

    I'm a little obsessed with these now. They are sooo good. I always use wholemeal spelt and today I added peppitas as well as sunflower seeds (activated) and raisins. Divine!

    Thank you for the recipe, really delicious. I used raisins and about 50g desiccated coconut instead of sunflower seeds. I have a 'turbo' setting on my oven so only had to crisp for about 1 1/2hrs.
