About Buttermilk rusk
Buttermilk rusk is a crunchy, twice-baked bread originating from South African cuisine, popular as a tea or coffee accompaniment. It is traditionally made from flour, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, butter, and raising agents like baking powder. Variations may include added seeds, nuts, or whole-grain flours for enhanced flavor and nutrition. Rich in carbohydrates, buttermilk rusks provide a quick energy boost, but their refined sugar and butter content can contribute to higher calorie and fat intake. However, whole-grain versions offer fiber and essential nutrients, supporting digestion and heart health. Often dry and shelf-stable, rusks have a comforting, homely taste, making them a favored snack in many households. While enjoyed best in moderation, they can be part of a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-rich drinks or healthy toppings like nut butter.
