I’ve been tinkering with this recipe for some time now and I can lastly share the right way to make these muesli rusks with oats and raisins are my greatest. I really like a basic South African buttermilk rusk however a muesli one is so a lot better. I really like that these are filled with a lot healthful goodness. From the oats to the three varieties of seeds and the beneficiant dose of raisins and sultanas. They get baked in a tray and lower into rustic fingers to be dried within the oven. Good for dunking into your morning tea or espresso.

Raisins – I’ve used a mixture of raisins and sultanas however you should utilize all or one of many different. You would combine it up additional and use cranberries or different chopped-up dried fruit similar to apricot
Seeds – I’ve used a combination of sunflower, pumpkin and flaxseeds. Make sure you mill the husks of the flaxseeds with a purpose to acquire their dietary profit. Chia seeds or nuts might be added to or exchange among the seeds.
Buttermilk – You can also make your personal buttermilk at dwelling by including a tablespoon of white vinegar to 250ml of complete milk. Let the combination sit at room temperature for about 10-Quarter-hour. Throughout this time, the milk will begin to curdle and thicken barely. After 10-Quarter-hour, give the combination a very good stir to ensure it’s absolutely mixed and thickened.
Butter and oil – I’ve used a mixture of butter and oil.
