How to Make Whole Wheat Buttermilk Rusks

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 300g whole wheat flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 75g granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt 100g margarine. Whisk in 200ml buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Grease a baking sheet generously. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it reaches all edges and corners.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly in the pan.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut the baked dough into even fingers (approximately 1 inch wide).
  9. Arrange the rusk fingers in a single layer on two ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 100°C (212°F).
  11. Dry the rusks in the preheated oven for 1 ½ - 2 hours, or until completely dry and crisp, turning the baking sheets halfway through.
  12. Let the rusks cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy dunking!
