Air Fryer Rusks, with buttermilk & muesli

South African’s love their rusks and now you can Air Fry them! We’ve taken advantage of the new Dehydrate mode with the Vortex Plus Air Fryer, to create a gorgeous rusk recipe that is so easy to follow. 

Ingredients:
 
500g self-raising flour
100g sugar
Pinch sea salt
 
150g butter, cold & cubed
 
250g buttermilk, room temperature
1 large egg
 
140g muesli
 
Method:
 
Lightly grease a 20 x 20cm baking tin.
 
In a large bowl whisk together the self-raising flour, sugar and salt.
Add the butter and work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles wet sand.
 
Whisk the buttermilk and egg together well.
 
Add the buttermilk mixture and the muesli into the dry ingredients.
Mix everything together.
 
Divide the dough into 16 balls and shape them into little logs.
 
Arrange them side by side in the baking tin.
 
Place the tin in the Vortex Plus basket and select Air Fry at 160˚C for 40 minutes.
 
Remove the baked rusks from the tin and return them, whole, upside down to the air fryer basket. Air Fry at 160˚C again for 5 minutes.
 
Break the rusks apart into individuals and place them in the basket.
 
Dehydrate the rusks at 79˚C for 4 hours until hard.
 
Keep rusks in a sealed container and enjoy dunking into your favourite hot beverage!
