HOMEMADE RUSK | RUSK RECIPE

A super easy way to make rusks it to bake your store-bought bread which rusk is basically twice baked crispy bread. Apply some butter on bread slices and place them in the oven till crisp.

But if you are like me and love baking from scratch then this recipe is for you. The rusk recipe makes exactly the type of rusk that you get in Indian stores and since it is made at home, it’s obviously so much better, flavour it with cardamom and little fennel. You can up the amount of these spices if you want a stronger flavor.

These milk rusks are very lightly sweetened just like the one we get at stores. You may increase the amount of sugar if you like sweeter rusks. I hope you guys give this rusk recipe a try and enjoy homemade rusks with your chai!
