This is a family recipe and one of my favourites! I don't know where this recipe comes from but my gran made it and my mom made it for me and now I make it for my daughter. (well I make it for me too!) Just a warning, these are addictive so you may want to stock up for a second batch. A tin of these crunchy, savoury rusks never lasts very long in my house!
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of thick sliced white bread
- 2 Tbl margerine
- 2 Tbl Bovril or Marmite (whichever you prefer, I always use Bovril)
- Preheat oven to 100°
- Mix the margerine and Bovril together (soften the margerine a bit if needed)
- Set out the slices of bread and generously spread both sides with the margerine mixture
- Cut off the crusts (I don't know if this is 100% necessary but we have always just done this!)
- Then cut each slice into three 'soldiers'
- Place the slices on a baking tray. Bake for 45 minutes, then turn and bake another 45 minutes.
- Take them out and let them cool. They should be hard and crunchy.
Keep it cooking,
