Homemade rusks are crunchy, twice-baked bread slices commonly enjoyed as a snack or breakfast accompaniment in various cuisines, especially in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and European traditions. Made with simple ingredients like flour, milk, sugar, butter, and yeast, they are lightly sweetened and sometimes flavored with cardamom or fennel for added aroma. Their crisp texture makes them perfect for dipping in tea or coffee. Nutritionally, rusks are a source of carbohydrates that provide quick energy. However, the inclusion of sugar and butter can contribute to higher calorie content, so moderation is key. When made at home, they can be customized to use whole-grain flours or less sugar, making them a healthier alternative to store-bought versions often containing preservatives. With their versatile flavor and satisfying crunch, homemade rusks are a delightful treat with a touch of wholesome tradition.
