Buttermilk, bran, oat, seed, nut & dried fruit rusks are a surprisingly easy to make, plus so easily customized to family favourite add-ins.
One of the key lockdown take outs I’ll for sure want to keep going is homemade rusks! I had never made my own before and now make every 2 months or so to top up our rusk jar.
Homemade rusks are a more cost effective way to keep the family in these tasty treats. Since making my own bran rusks I have been so conscious of the prices of store-bought varieties! You can also customise them based on your preferences – bran for fibre, raisins or sultanas or cranberries, pecans or almonds, your favourite seeds…
You can also easily substitute buttermilk if you don’t have on hand:
– whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes. It’s not quite as thick as buttermilk, but it works just the same or
– replace with plain yoghurt or
– replace with maas
