 SPILL THE TEA AND DIP THAT SIDAT RUSK!!

When Khashifah Sidat was 34 years old she decided it was time to pursue the one thing she had always wanted to do and that was have a career in baking. So she signed up with Capsicum's Culinary Studio's Boksburg campus and enrolled for their pastry course.

Here is a recipe she shared with us

Khashifah's Healthy Bran Rusks...

(The perfect tea dippers)

Ingredients

500 g butter

1½ cups brown sugar

3 cups all bran flakes, crushed

2 cups digestive bran

1 kg self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup pecans, chopped

2 eggs

500ml inkomaas

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180°C.

Place sugar and butter in a pot on a medium stove and stir till sugar is dissolved and butter has melted

Place the all bran flakes, digestive bran, flour, baking powder and pecans into a bowl and

mix well.

Place the inkomaas in a small bowl and beat in the two eggs

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula. 

Place into a tray lined with baking paper (I use a rusk tray) and press the mix to level out.

Bake for 35 mins or until golden.

Remove from oven and cool. Cut into slices and place back into a 160°C degree oven to dry out until crisp (about 30mins).

Even more delicious when dunked into a cup of tea or coffee!
