I made these from a Carol Timperley recipe.

450g strong white flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 tsp bicarb of soda
75g caster sugar
100g butter
1 egg, beaten
250ml buttermilk

Sift flour, cream of tartar and bicarb together. Stir in sugar, rub in butter. mix together egg and buttermilk, add to flour mixture and knead together to make a dough. Pat the dough into an oiled swiss roll tin (33 x 20cm) Bake at Gas mark 6 for 30 mins. Remove from oven, cut into fingers, arrange on baking trays. Lower the oven to gm 1/2 and return the rusks to the oven until dry.

Unfortunately dd2 was not impressed! She had them dry, dipped in milk with fruit for breakfast, crumbled into warm milk to make a cereal but still she would not eat them! But the likelihood of my children eating my food is inversely proportional to the amount of effort I put into it. To an adult palate the rusks were quite tasty, if a tad bland, a pinch of cinnamon would be nice I think. V nice dipped in hot chocolate though!

just bake some bread fingers in the oven on a low temp until very crispy.
