Buttermilk Rusks (12)

Crisp, golden, and wonderfully satisfying, our Gluten Free Buttermilk Rusks bring a delicious twist to a traditional South African favourite. Each rusk has a firm, crunchy texture and rich, comforting flavour. Buttermilk adds a gentle tang and creamy taste, creating a beautifully balanced rusk. Enjoy them with your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or straight from the packet.

First, we combine Flour Mix B, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Together, these ingredients create a strong base for our rusks. The baking powder adds a gentle lift, while xanthan gum helps bind the gluten-free ingredients. As a result, each rusk develops a consistent texture and satisfying bite.

Next, we add eggs, white sugar, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. The eggs add richness, while the sugar brings a touch of sweetness. Meanwhile, vegetable oil helps create a tender texture. Buttermilk then adds its signature creamy flavour and subtle tang. Together, these ingredients create a deliciously balanced mixture.

Once everything comes together, we carefully prepare the mixture for baking. We bake it until it develops a beautiful golden-brown colour and firm texture. However, baking is only part of the process. We then slowly dry the rusks to create their classic crunch.

This extra step removes moisture and gives each rusk its satisfying crisp texture. It also makes them perfect for dipping into coffee, tea, or another favourite hot drink. As you dunk each rusk, the crisp texture softens slightly while keeping its delicious bite.

At Crumble, we make every batch in our dedicated gluten-free bakery. We carefully select our ingredients and follow a consistent preparation process. From mixing and baking to drying, we pay attention to every detail. This helps us create rusks with the flavour and texture you expect from Crumble.

Whether you enjoy them at breakfast, during afternoon tea, or as a quick snack, these rusks fit easily into your day. They are also ideal for lunchboxes, road trips, or keeping in the pantry for a crunchy treat.

Crumble’s Gluten Free Buttermilk Rusks combine golden crunch, gentle sweetness, and the rich, creamy flavour of buttermilk. A comforting South African classic, made gluten free and ready to enjoy.
