Buttermilk Rusks

P1000087

12 cups flour (3lbs) I use Oatmill flour for a nutty taste
2 cups sugar
1 t salt
12 t BP if you are not using self-raising flour
500g butter
2 cups buttermilk
3 eggs (just made them and forgot eggs will let you know how they turn out)

  • mix dry ingredients together
  • rub in butter
  • add buttermilk and eggs and knead together
  • divide into 3-4 loaf pans and bake for 1 hour at 180 deg C
  • cool and cut
  • dry in low heat oven over night

Okay so with no eggs they sink instead of float when dunking. A little heavier on taste too, but quite edible.

2 cups of sugar makes for very sweet rusks, I usually cut that to 1 and a bit cups.
