All of us have some nice warm memories of dipping rusks in our tea on rainy days and the satisfaction that goes along with that homely feeling, mmmm! Then wanting to recreate that ever so often and getting a sticker-shock at the store. Yes, it can get expensive! But, ever thought about making it at home? Well, we have the recipe, it’s so simple and easy and let’s not forget, so inexpensive!
Ingredients:
Buns
Sugar
Buttery Spread or Butter
Method:
1. Half the buns horizontally.
2. Spread a thin coat of butter or buttery spread on the inside.
3. Sprinkle some sugar over the butter.
4. Cut into strips.
5. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit/ 180 degrees Centigrade.
6. Lay the Bun strips on the baking sheet, butter side up.
7. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
8. If there is more than one tray, 30 minutes into the cooking, swap the trays to ensure even cooking.
9. Allow them to cook till they well done and dry.
10. Once out of the oven, allow them to cool down to room temperature.
11. Store in an air-tight container.

For butter, do you recommend salted or unsalted butter?

Hi Pinal,
Really, any type of butter will do. The combination of a little bit of salt and a little bit of sugar is not such a bad thing. If however, you are sensitive to salt, you can use unsalted.

The baking Trays are available at most grocery stores or kitchen appliance store. In the US, they can be bought at Walmarts, Targets, Krogers, Bed Bath and Beyond etc.
Hope that helps/

Yes, these are hamburger buns. They can be bought at any grocery store. Make sure they do not have any toppings on them.
Enjoy!

I made this yesterday and everybody in my family loved it. Thank you so much for both of you. My daughter who is 11 year old told me that she is going to try this rusk with hot salsa.
You both are very friendly and i am getting the reply right a way for my questions. Thanks a Lot!

Can bread be used in place of buns? Thanks!

Buns taste a little different than regular bread. Also, they are thicker and hold up better when dipped in tea.

Can brown bread b used instead of buns ?
thk u !!!!!!U guys rock …..

We use buns because of their thickness. As the bun dehydrates, the size becomes smaller. If you use regular thinly sliced bread, it may become too thin and then fall apart when you dip it into the tea. To answer your question, yes, even regular bread will work, but buns work (and taste) better.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
I looked this recipe..gr8 post..i have been watching ur videos from long time.. and to be frank i learnt cooking tasty food after following ur recipes..U both r doing gr8 job..
In UK we get baps which are like buns only..i was wondering can use them for making rusk? I use those for Pav bhaji..

Hi Seema,
So glad to hear that you are finding ShowMeTheCurry useful! We have never used the baps buns you are referring to, but as long as they are plain bread with a little bit of thickness (more than sliced white bread), they should work just fine. If you are really unsure, you can experiment with just a few of them to see if it works before you try a whole batch.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I tried making tea rusk, I followed all your instructions carefully, they became crispy but not brown.I was wondering how you ppl got brown colour to them.Do I need to add anything else to get brown colour?
[Reply]
hetal Reply:

The rusk will only get brown while the oven is on. If you turn the oven off before they get brown and then keep them inside, they will dry out and become crispy but will remain white.

Hi Anuja and Hetal
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank Yoooooooooooooooou.
Can’t wait to try them. My daughter loves her bun with milk. I am pretty sure she will love this one.
You know i was waiting to ask you about how to make khari biscuit for tea. After seeing your rusk idea, I am wondering will it be possible to make kari biscuit with phyllo pastry sheets.
Just take 3 or 4 sheets, spread butter and sprinkle with cummin. Cut them into desired stripes and put in the oven, same as the break 275 deg. What do u think ladies. Will it work?

Hi Sujatha,
My mom makes khari biscuits with Puff Pastry sheets. Phyllo sheets will probably be too thin and crispy. Pillsbury makes the Puff Pastry sheets and they are available in the freezer section where all the desserts are kept. Just follow the directions on the box for the baking time and temperature. You can even add the cumin and lightly roll it into the dough, cut them into strips and bake.

I tried these and they came out GREAT – be sure not to burn or it will ruin the entire batch. Next time I will try sprinkling a bit of powdered anise for even more flavor. Thanks for a wonderful recipe – you ladies ROCK!

So I made these again (first batch ran out pretty quick), but this time I used Dinner rolls (big bag from Costco). You HAVE to try this – they came out just awesome, so much flavor (I did add a light sprinkle of anise powder). Held up better in the Chai too, since they are firmer than the hamburger buns. I could not stop eating…
