Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 125 grams butter, unsalted and softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 milliliters milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and ground ginger. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and stirring until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape each part into a log approximately 25 cm (10 inches) long and 5 cm (2 inches) wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Once the logs are cool enough to handle, cut them diagonally into 1 cm (about 0.5 inch) thick slices.
Step 8
Return the slices to the baking sheet, arranging them cut-side down. Bake again for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden and crisp.
Step 9
Turn each rusk over and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the opposite side is also golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Enjoy your nut-free rusks with coffee, tea, or as a delightful snack!
