Dairy Free Rusks

If you suffer from Dairy Allergies like my family does, you can sometimes get a little frustrated with the lack of suitable recipes avaibable. I have adapted my recipes to cater for my family and I will be sharing some of my favourites in the coming weeks.

Rusks

(If you do not know what a rusk is, find a South African and ask them to explain to you.)

350ml sugar

*Hands are definitely needed for this exercise*

Roll portions into balls and then flatten out slightly.

Pack into 3 rows of balls in 3 greased bread tins.

Bake for 30-45 minutes in 180 deg C oven until cooked.

Allow to cool and then break apart and dry overnight in a 70 - 100 deg C oven.

Once completely dried and cooled, store in an airtight container.

Make yourself a good cup of coffee, dunk and enjoy!
