Rusk and tea, also known as chai toast, are India's favourite pair during teatime. The crunch and subtle flavour of the rusk pair exceptionally well with a creamy cup of tea. But to make this affair a little healthier, here's an easy rusk recipe made using whole wheat instead of all-purpose flour:
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 cup powdered jaggery or sugar 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup milk (or as needed) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder Pinch of salt
Blend The Dry Ingredients
Mix flour, baking soda, cardamom powder, jaggery or sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add The Milk
Pour in enough milk to make a smooth dough after gradually adding the oil.
Shape And Bake
After shaping the dough into logs, bake it for 30 to 35 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until golden brown.
Cut Them
After allowing the logs to cool, cut them into 1-inch-thick slices.
Toast And Dry
For 20 to 25 minutes, bake slices at 150°C (300°F) or until they are crisp and dry.
Let It Cool Fully
Before storage, let the rusks cool on a rack.
