directions
- Spray two 30 x 36 x 7 cm baking trays with nonstick baking spray.

- Mix in buttermilk to form a firm dough.
- Break off small pieces of dough and shape them into balls.
- Place close together in sprayed baking trays.
- Brush the side of each row with melted butter before putting in the next row so that the rusks can be broken apart easily later.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 240 °C for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 190 °C and bake for a further 35-50 minutes, then brush with diluted milk.
- Turn out on to a cooling rack and break in three so that rusks will cool more quickly.
- When cool, break into neat portions and allow to dry out in the oven set at 100 °C.
