Ingredients

• 480 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 240 milliliters Water
• 3 Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Stir in the water gradually until you achieve a thick, but pourable batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to form a rectangular shape about 1 inch in thickness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 9

Once cool enough to handle, transfer the baked loaf to a cutting board and slice it into 1/2 inch thick slices.

Step 10

Arrange the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying them flat and with a little space between each piece.

Step 11

Return the sliced rusks to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are dry, crisp, and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Store the rusk in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. Enjoy them with your favorite beverage!
