Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- In a large bowl add the flours and baking powder and whisk to combine. Add the All-Bran and sugar and mix.
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add this to the dry ingredients along with the buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
- Line a baking (or small roasting) dish on the biggest side with baking paper. A 28cm x 20cm dish or similar rectangular dish will work well here. Spread the mixture into the tin and lightly press it into all the corners.
- Bake for 30 minutes until light golden brown. Cover with a piece of tin foil from about halfway through the baking to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
- Cut the rusks into fingers of the desired thickness. Place them on a large, lined baking sheet. Space them out to allow them to dry.
- Place in a low oven of around 90C-100C, preferably fan-forced, and dry for 4 - 5 hours. Turn the rusks over halfway through. Turn the oven off and let them stay inside overnight. When tested they should be dry right through before turning off the oven,
