FULL RECIPE

Makes: 24
Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Hands-off time: 6 hours

INGREDIENTS

cup NESTL Cremora Original
1 cups cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
tsp table salt
cup light brown sugar
cup (115g) oil
2 XL eggs

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180C and grease a bread loaf tin (21.5x11.5cm).

2. In a medium bowl, combine the NESTL Cremora Original with cup of warm water and mix until smooth and lump-free. Set aside to cool completely.

3. In a medium-sized bowl, sieve together the cake flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

4. Into the bowl with the cooled Cremora mixture, whisk together the light brown sugar, oil and eggs.

5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together to create a cake batter.

6. Pour the batter into the bread loaf tin and bake for about 60 minutes, or until golden on top and skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. *Chefs Tip: When the batter pulls away from the sides of the pan, it is ready.

7. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes, turn out of the bread loaf tin onto a cooling rack and allow to further cool until room temperature.

8. Slice into 24 rusk-sized portions. Arrange the rusks on a baking tray, with space between them to allow for air circulation. *Chefs tip: Place the rusks on a cooling rack over a baking tray to create airflow while saving space.

9. Dry the rusks out in a 90C oven for 4-5 hours, with the door slightly ajar, turning frequently. *Chefs Tip: Wedge a wooden spoon between the oven and oven door to help keep it slightly open.

10. Cool completely over a cooling rack before storing in an airtight container. *Chefs Tip: The stored rusks can last for up to a month at room temperature.

11. Serve these Milk tart rusks with tea and ENJOY!
