Receta BEST EVER FRUITY FIBRE RUSKS / BOERBESKUIT (SOUTH AFRICAN)
by Gypsy-Rose Belladonna Kilachef
Moorishly fruitful with a citrusy burst on the tongue!
Makes: 72 + 55 = Total 127 Rusks using a 72 & 55 Rusk Pasella pan (1 large + 1 medium sized pans) or use your very large oven pan + bread pans.
*Note: If you decide to buy the Pasella pan (South Africa) for your Rusks make sure to get the correct pan size & cutters for 72 Rusks.
Lovely with breakfast or even that 1st morning cup of coffee! Any time of the day! Noon or night! Even when guests pop around for tea! You may purchase extra mixed candied peel to make it “extra citrusy & special!” If you don’t have a Pasella rusk pan (South Africa), you may use your very large oven pan that comes with all ovens. This recipe can be varied. i.e., by adding 1 cup of blanched sunflower seeds or by adding a cup of candied citrus peel. *Note: Sunflower seeds must be blanched for 3 seconds in rapidly boiling water to prevent them from turning green in your rusks. *Chefs Tip: For every 26.5 g of dry weight, as in, flour, muesli or bran... You must use 1 ml measure of baking powder per every 26.5 g of weight). In this recipe I have added an extra 10 ml baking powder to help lift the fruit. (If omitting the fruit & adding 250 g of sunflower seeds instead, use 50 ml baking powder). Add extra 1ml of bicarb per every 132.5 ml dry ingredients, i.e.; flour + bran. Bicarb helps with rising & must be added where there is an acidic ingredient such as buttermilk or fruit. Remember “baking law,” all measures must be loosely packed & levelled off with the back of a knife! (Not heaped!). Remember fruit being heavier, will need that bit extra lift / leavening to help raise it up.
*Weights are far more accurate than cup & spoon measures, especially when it comes to the bran in this recipe. Bran can be very tricky to measure correctly, there being many varieties around.
Ingredients: *Use a very large mixing bowl with a minimum capacity of 7 litres.
*Note: If using the porridge flakes from the box crush them finely. Always cheaper to use the baking flakes
