I hope that everybody has had a wonderful 2010 so far. I know we are three weeks into it already and I have not posted anything here. It is not as if I have not been busy, everything but! Since all my visitors left, I have been working on 3 sets of ATC's for a swap that I signed up for - sorry cannot post any pics of them yet. It is an ABC swap and our next three letters is K, L & M. 18 of each. I am nearly done with the last ones even though they only need to be with the hostess towards the end of February. Once they are out of the way, I will be able to get around to some cardmaking again. I need to start making some Valentine cards!
I bought myself a set of pans with a cutter - that way all your rusks are the same size. Overseas visitors, do you get pans like these in your country? These are locally made and I could not find anything similar in other countries. Do leave a comment and let me know - it would be very interesting. As you can see, I have a huge stove and both these pans goes into the oven at once. Approximately 20 minutes later and out comes 140 perfect rusks!
To be honest, I have a fresh batch in the kitchen waiting to be dried out tomorrow morning.
Well, that's it from me from a lovely cool and wet KZN. I am off to carry on working on my ATC's.
Have yourself a wonderful weekend and I hope you get lots of crafting done.
Warm hugs!

I haven't seen those pans in the US. What are Rusks?
ReplyDeleteH Pam, the one definition I found says 'Rusks is a rectangular twice baked biscuit'. The other definition I found for it is 'Sweet raised bread dried and browned in an oven'. It is normally dunked in coffee to soften it a bit. The dough is baked, left in the pans to cool, cut into portions and then dried in an oven at a very low heat. Hope this helps!
